Subject: [PATCH v4] fs/proc: add VmTaskSize field to /proc/$$/status
Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2019 10:54:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1560437690-13919-1-git-send-email-jsavitz@redhat.com> (raw)

The kernel provides no architecture-independent mechanism to get the
size of the virtual address space of a task (userspace process) without
brute-force calculation. This patch allows a user to easily retrieve
this value via a new VmTaskSize entry in /proc/$$/status.
