Hi, Dave
For some case especially under Android, anonymous page sharing is
common, for example:
70323000-70e41000 rw-p 00000000 fd:00 120004
/data/dalvik-cache/x86/system@framework@boot.art
Size: 11384 kB
Rss: 8840 kB
Pss: 927 kB
Shared_Clean: 5720 kB
Shared_Dirty: 2492 kB
Private_Clean: 16 kB
Private_Dirty: 612 kB
Referenced: 7896 kB
Anonymous: 3104 kB
PropAnonymous: 697 kB
AnonHugePages: 0 kB
Swap: 0 kB
KernelPageSize: 4 kB
MMUPageSize: 4 kB
Locked: 0 kB
The only Anonymous here is confusing to me. What I really want to know
is how many anonymous page is there in Pss. After exposing
PropAnonymous, we could know 697/927 is anonymous in Pss.
I suppose the Pss - PropAnonymous = Proportional Page cache size for
file based memory and we want to break down the page cache into process
level, how much page cache each process consumes.

Xiaokang
