精确度量Linux下进程占用多少内存的方法
背景
在Linux中，要了解进程的信息，莫过于从 proc 文件系统中入手去看。
proc的详细介绍，可以参考内核文档的解读，里面有很多内容
yum install -y kernel-doc
cat /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-3.10.0/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt

1. where "address" is the address space in the process that it occupies, "perms"
is a set of permissions:
r = read
w = write
x = execute
s = shared
p = private (copy on write)
2. "offset" is the offset into the mapping,
3. "dev" is the device (major:minor),
4. "inode" is the inode on that device.
0 indicates that no inode is associated with the memory region, as the case would be with BSS (uninitialized data).
5. The "pathname" shows the name associated file for this mapping.
If the mapping is not associated with a file:
[heap] = the heap of the program
[stack] = the stack of the main process
[stack:1001] = the stack of the thread with tid 1001
[vdso] = the "virtual dynamic shared object",
the kernel system call handler
or if empty, the mapping is anonymous.

VmFlags: rd ex mr mw me de
1. the size of the mapping(size),
2. the amount of the mapping that is currently resident in RAM (RSS),
3. the process' proportional share of this mapping (PSS),
4. the number of clean and dirty private pages in the mapping.
Note that even a page which is part of a MAP_SHARED mapping, but has only a single pte mapped,
i.e. is currently used by only one process, is accounted as private and not as shared.
5. "Referenced" indicates the amount of memory currently marked as referenced or accessed.
6. "Anonymous" shows the amount of memory that does not belong to any file.
Even a mapping associated with a file may contain anonymous pages:
when MAP_PRIVATE and a page is modified, the file page is replaced by a private anonymous copy.
7. "Swap" shows how much would-be-anonymous memory is also used, but out on
swap.
8. "VmFlags" field deserves a separate description.
This member represents the kernel flags associated with the particular virtual memory area in two letter encoded manner.
The codes are the following:
rd - readable
wr - writeable
ex - executable
sh - shared
mr - may read
mw - may write
me - may execute
ms - may share
gd - stack segment growns down
pf - pure PFN range
dw - disabled write to the mapped file
lo - pages are locked in memory
io - memory mapped I/O area
sr - sequential read advise provided
rr - random read advise provided
dc - do not copy area on fork
de - do not expand area on remapping
ac - area is accountable
nr - swap space is not reserved for the area
ht - area uses huge tlb pages
nl - non-linear mapping
ar - architecture specific flag
dd - do not include area into core dump
mm - mixed map area
hg - huge page advise flag
nh - no-huge page advise flag
mg - mergable advise flag
一般来说，业务进程使用的内存主要有以下几种情况：
（1）用户空间的匿名映射页（Anonymous pages in User Mode address spaces），比如调用malloc分配的内存，以及使用MAP_ANONYMOUS的mmap；当系统内存不够时，内核可以将这部分内存交换出去；
（2）用户空间的文件映射页（Mapped pages in User Mode address spaces），包含map file和map tmpfs；前者比如指定文件的mmap，后者比如IPC共享内存；当系统内存不够时，内核可以回收这些页，但回收之前可能需要与文件同步数据；
（3）文件缓存（page in page cache of disk file）；发生在程序通过普通的read/write读写文件时，当系统内存不够时，内核可以回收这些页，但回收之前可能需要与文件同步数据；
（4）buffer pages，属于page cache；比如读取块设备文件。
进程RSS, 进程使用的所有物理内存（file_rss＋anon_rss），即Anonymous pages＋Mapped apges（包含共享内存）
Resident Set Size:
number of pages the process has in real memory.
This is just the pages which count toward text, data, or stack space.
This does not include pages which have not been demand-loaded in,
or which are swapped out.
显然如果把所有进程RSS的值相加，可能会超过实际的内存大小，原因是RSS统计存在一定的重复部分，例如在共享内存的计算方面，不同的进程会有重复的现象。
通过smaps可以非常方便的将重复的部分消除掉。
例如有多个进程加载了同样的库文件，那么会在这些进程间均摊这部分内存，均摊后的共享部分加上进程私有的内存记为Pss。
Pss: 374 kB
私有的内存则在Private里面计算
Private_Clean: 0 kB
Private_Dirty: 0 kB
在linux中有一个工具叫smem，其实就是通过smaps来统计的。
PSS是Pss的相加
USS则是Private的相加
yum install -y smem smemstat
smem can report proportional set size (PSS), which is a more meaningful representation of the amount of memory used by libraries and applications in a virtual memory system.
Because large portions of physical memory are typically shared among multiple applications, the standard measure of memory usage known as resident set size (RSS) will significantly overestimate memory usage. PSS instead measures each application's "fair share" of each shared area to give a realistic measure.
例子
smem
PID User Command Swap USS PSS RSS
23716 digoal postgres: postgres postgres 0 4924 5387 7040
对应的RSS, PSS, USS分别等于以下相加.
# cat /proc/23716/smaps | grep Rss
# cat /proc/23716/smaps | grep Pss
# cat /proc/23716/smaps | grep Private_

我拿 yakuake 这个小程序作例子。
其中，关于内存的是 VSZ 和 RSS 这两个
man ps 看看它们的含义：
rss RSS resident set size, the non-swapped physical memory that a task has used (in kiloBytes). (alias rssize, rsz).
vsz VSZ virtual memory size of the process in KiB (1024-byte units). Device mappings are currently excluded; this is subject to change. (alias vsize).
简单一点说，RSS 就是这个process 实际占用的物理内存，VSZ 就是process 的虚拟内存，就是process 现在没有使用但未来可能会分配的内存大小。
其实这里的ps 出来的结果，是有点不正确的，如果把所有程序的 RSS 加起来，恐怕比你的实际内存还要大呢。为什么呢？？因为 ps 的结果，RSS 那部分，是包括共享内存的。这里我用 pmap 来看看。
$ pmap -d 1980

mapped: 180472K writeable/private: 19208K shared: 20544K
我略去了一部分输出，都是差不多的，重点在最后那行输出。
linux 会把一些shared libraries 载入到内存中，在pmap 的输出中，这些shared libraries 的名字通常是 lib*.so 。如 libX11.so.6.2.0 。这个 libX11.so.6.2.0 会被很多process load 到自己的运行环境中，同时，ps 输出的RSS 结果中，每个process 都包含了这个libX11.so.6.2.0 ，而事实上它只被load 了一次，如果单纯把ps 的结果相加，这样就重复计算了。
而 pmap 的输出中，writeable/private: 19208K ，这个就是yakuake 这个程序真正占用的物理内存，不包含shared libraries 。在这里，它只有19208K，而ps 的RSS 是34416K。
我在看这方面的资料时，还看到一些关于virtual memory 的，再记录下。
以下两个命令均可查看 vmsize 。
$ cat /proc/<pid>/stat | awk '{print $23 / 1024}'
$ cat /proc/<pid>/status | grep -i vmsize
一般来说，得出来的值，是和 ps 的 VSZ 是一样的，但有一种情况例外，就是查看X server 的时候。
举个例：
$ ps aux|grep /usr/bin/X|grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' # 得出X server 的 pid ...
1076
$ cat /proc/1076/stat | awk '{print $23 / 1024}'
139012
$ cat /proc/1076/status | grep -i vmsize
VmSize: 106516 kB
而 ps 的 VSZ 为 106516 ，与后者是一致的。
据说是因为
VmSize = memory + memory-mapped hardware (e.g. video card memory).
