Below is a patch that adds number of physical pages that each vma is
using in a process. Exporting this information to user space
using /proc/<pid>/maps interface.
There is currently /proc/<pid>/smaps that prints the detailed
information about the usage of physical pages but that is a very
expensive operation as it traverses all the PTs (for some one who is
just interested in getting that data for each vma).
Yet more cacheline footprint in the page fault and unmap paths...
What is this used for and why do we want it? Could you do some
smaps-like interface that can work on ranges of memory, and
continue to walk pagetables instead?
