Hi, all!
Google has many explanations of what each value mean, but nothing about
relations of values (the same for Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt).
For example, i have qemu vm with x86_64 kernel:
~# dd if=/dev/zero of=tmpdata bs=$((1024*1024)) count=10; sleep 1s; \
free; cat /proc/meminfo; grep Pss: /proc/*/smaps | awk '{s+=$2} END {print s}'

10070
If i understand correctly, 10070K is userspace size, but i don't know how can i
get this value from /proc/meminfo - AnonPages + ? ...
A part of 10070K are code segments; are they included in Cached value?
If not, then 22628K(used) - 100070K = 12558K - is this kernel memory?
Which values are compose it(Slab + ?...)?
The only relations i know are:
Active = Active(anon) + Active(file)
Inactive = Inactive(anon) + Inactive(file)
Slab = SReclaimable + SUnreclaim
Others are unknown. For example, i don't know how to get used value - 64172;
and why AnonPages is not equal nor Active(anon) nor Active(anon) + Inactive(anon)?
If anyone have the time for an answer, I will be grateful.
Thanks.
