Subject: [RFC][PATCH] proc: mm: export PTE sizes directly in smaps


/proc/$pid/smaps has a number of fields that are intended to imply the
kinds of PTEs used to map memory.  "AnonHugePages" obviously tells you
how many PMDs are being used.  "MMUPageSize" along with the "Hugetlb"
fields tells you how many PTEs you have for a huge page.

The current mechanisms work fine when we have one or two page sizes.
But, they start to get a bit muddled when we mix page sizes inside
one VMA.  For instance, the DAX folks were proposing adding a set of
fields like:

	DevicePages:
	DeviceHugePages:
	DeviceGiganticPages:
	DeviceGinormousPages:

to unmuddle things when page sizes get mixed.  That's fine, but
it does require userspace know the mapping from our various
arbitrary names to hardware page sizes on each architecture and
kernel configuration.

What folks really want is to know how much memory is mapped with
each page size.  How about we just do *that*?

Patch attached.  Seems harmless enough.  Probably doesn't compile
everywhere.  Makes smaps look like this:

Private_Hugetlb:       0 kB
Swap:                  0 kB
SwapPss:               0 kB
KernelPageSize:        4 kB
MMUPageSize:           4 kB
Locked:                0 kB
Ptes:               4096 kB @        4 kB     4096 kB @     2048 kB
VmFlags: rd wr mr mw me ac 

1. I'd like to thank Dan Williams for showing me a mirror as I
   complained about the bozo that introduced 'AnonHugePages'.
