/proc/pid/smaps_rollup is a new proc file that improves the
performance of user programs that determine aggregate memory
statistics (e.g., total PSS) of a process.

Android regularly "samples" the memory usage of various processes in
order to balance its memory pool sizes. This sampling process involves
opening /proc/pid/smaps and summing certain fields. For very large
processes, sampling memory use this way can take several hundred
milliseconds, due mostly to the overhead of the seq_printf calls in
task_mmu.c.

smaps_rollup improves the situation. It contains most of the fields of
/proc/pid/smaps, but instead of a set of fields for each VMA,
smaps_rollup instead contains one synthetic smaps-format entry
representing the whole process. In the single smaps_rollup synthetic
entry, each field is the summation of the corresponding field in all
of the real-smaps VMAs. Using a common format for smaps_rollup and
smaps allows userspace parsers to repurpose parsers meant for use with
non-rollup smaps for smaps_rollup, and it allows userspace to switch
between smaps_rollup and smaps at runtime (say, based on the
availability of smaps_rollup in a given kernel) with minimal fuss.

By using smaps_rollup instead of smaps, a caller can avoid the
significant overhead of formatting, reading, and parsing each of a
large process's potentially very numerous memory mappings. For
sampling system_server's PSS in Android, we measured a 12x speedup,
representing a savings of several hundred milliseconds.

One alternative to a new per-process proc file would have been
including PSS information in /proc/pid/status. We considered this
option but thought that PSS would be too expensive (by a few orders of
magnitude) to collect relative to what's already emitted as part of
/proc/pid/status, and slowing every user of /proc/pid/status for the
sake of readers that happen to want PSS feels wrong.

The code itself works by reusing the existing VMA-walking framework we
use for regular smaps generation and keeping the mem_size_stats
structure around between VMA walks instead of using a fresh one for
each VMA.  In this way, summation happens automatically.  We let
seq_file walk over the VMAs just as it does for regular smaps and just
emit nothing to the seq_file until we hit the last VMA.

Benchmarks:

    using smaps:
    iterations:1000 pid:1163 pss:220023808
    0m29.46s real 0m08.28s user 0m20.98s system

    using smaps_rollup:
    iterations:1000 pid:1163 pss:220702720
    0m04.39s real 0m00.03s user 0m04.31s system

+What:		/proc/pid/smaps_rollup
+Date:		August 2017
+Contact:	Daniel Colascione <dancol@google.com>
+Description:
+		This file provides pre-summed memory information for a
+		process.  The format is identical to /proc/pid/smaps,
+		except instead of an entry for each VMA in a process,
+		smaps_rollup has a single entry (tagged "[rollup]")
+		for which each field is the sum of the corresponding
+		fields from all the maps in /proc/pid/smaps.
+		For more details, see the procfs man page.
+
+		Typical output looks like this:
+
+		00100000-ff709000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0		 [rollup]
+		Rss:		     884 kB
+		Pss:		     385 kB
+		Shared_Clean:	     696 kB
+		Shared_Dirty:	       0 kB
