Subject: [patch 3/3 take2] smaps: add clear_refs file to clear reference
Adds an additional file to /proc/pid: clear_refs. When any non-zero
number is written to this file, all the PG_referenced flags and
PAGE_ACCESSED (meaning the page has been accessed) are cleared within each
VMA for the corresponding task.
It is now possible to measure how much memory a task is using by clearing
the reference bits with
echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs
and checking the reference count for each VMA from the /proc/pid/smaps
output at a time interval later.
The /proc/pid/clear_refs file is only writable by the user who owns the
task.
