Subject: [RFCv3][PATCH 4/4] show page size in /proc/$pid/numa_maps


The output of /proc/$pid/numa_maps is in terms of number of pages
like anon=22 or dirty=54.  Here's some output:

7f4680000000 default file=/hugetlb/bigfile anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50
7f7659600000 default file=/anon_hugepage\040(deleted) anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50
7fff8d425000 default stack anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50

Looks like we have a stack and a couple of anonymous hugetlbfs
areas page which both use the same amount of memory.  They don't.

The 'bigfile' uses 1GB pages and takes up ~50GB of space.  The
anon_hugepage uses 2MB pages and takes up ~100MB of space while
the stack uses normal 4k pages.  You can go over to smaps to
figure out what the page size _really_ is with KernelPageSize
or MMUPageSize.  But, I think this is a pretty nasty and
counterintuitive interface as it stands.

The following patch adds a pagesize= field.  Note that this only
shows the kernel's notion of page size.  For transparent
hugepages, it still shows the base page size.  Here's some real
output.  Note the anon_hugepage in there.

# cat /proc/`pidof memknobs`/numa_maps
00400000 default file=/root/memknobs pagesize=4KiB dirty=3 active=2 N0=3
00602000 default file=/root/memknobs pagesize=4KiB anon=1 dirty=1 N0=1
