    mm: rework virtual memory accounting · 84638335
    Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
    When inspecting a vague code inside prctl(PR_SET_MM_MEM) call (which
    testing the RLIMIT_DATA value to figure out if we're allowed to assign
    new @start_brk, @brk, @start_data, @end_data from mm_struct) it's been
    commited that RLIMIT_DATA in a form it's implemented now doesn't do
    anything useful because most of user-space libraries use mmap() syscall
    for dynamic memory allocations.
    
    Linus suggested to convert RLIMIT_DATA rlimit into something suitable
    for anonymous memory accounting.  But in this patch we go further, and
    the changes are bundled together as:
    
     * keep vma counting if CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, will be used for limits
     * replace mm->shared_vm with better defined mm->data_vm
     * account anonymous executable areas as executable
     * account file-backed growsdown/up areas as stack
     * drop struct file* argument from vm_stat_account
     * enforce RLIMIT_DATA for size of data areas
    
    This way code looks cleaner: now code/stack/data classification depends
    only on vm_flags state:
    
     VM_EXEC & ~VM_WRITE            -> code  (VmExe + VmLib in proc)
     VM_GROWSUP | VM_GROWSDOWN      -> stack (VmStk)
     VM_WRITE & ~VM_SHARED & !stack -> data  (VmData)
    
    The rest (VmSize - VmData - VmStk - VmExe - VmLib) could be called
    "shared", but that might be strange beast like readonly-private or VM_IO
    area.
    
     - RLIMIT_AS            limits whole address space "VmSize"
     - RLIMIT_STACK         limits stack "VmStk" (but each vma individually)
     - RLIMIT_DATA          now limits "VmData"
