Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] vm: add a syscall to map a process memory into a pipe

From: Andrei Vagin <avagin@...tuozzo.com>

It is a hybrid of process_vm_readv() and vmsplice().

vmsplice can map memory from a current address space into a pipe.
process_vm_readv can read memory of another process.

A new system call can map memory of another process into a pipe.

ssize_t process_vmsplice(pid_t pid, int fd, const struct iovec *iov,
                        unsigned long nr_segs, unsigned int flags)

All arguments are identical with vmsplice except pid which specifies a
target process.

Currently if we want to dump a process memory to a file or to a socket,
we can use process_vm_readv() + write(), but it works slow, because data
are copied into a temporary user-space buffer.

A second way is to use vmsplice() + splice(). It is more effective,
because data are not copied into a temporary buffer, but here is another
problem. vmsplice works with the currect address space, so it can be
used only if we inject our code into a target process.

The second way suffers from a few other issues:
* a process has to be stopped to run a parasite code
* a number of pipes is limited, so it may be impossible to dump all
  memory in one iteration, and we have to stop process and inject our
  code a few times.
* pages in pipes are unreclaimable, so it isn't good to hold a lot of
  memory in pipes.

The introduced syscall allows to use a second way without injecting any
code into a target process.

My experiments shows that process_vmsplice() + splice() works two time
faster than process_vm_readv() + write().

It is particularly useful on a pre-dump stage. On this stage we enable a
memory tracker, and then we are dumping  a process memory while a
process continues work. On the first iteration we are dumping all
memory, and then we are dumpung only modified memory from a previous
iteration.  After a few pre-dump operations, a process is stopped and
dumped finally. The pre-dump operations allow to significantly decrease
a process downtime, when a process is migrated to another host.
