Memory usage mesurements via smaps interface
Hi debian-kernel users
I need to get a reasonably accurate measurement of the size of resident
srahed and private memory a generic process occupies in a given moment
(debian standard kernel 2.6.18).
Having read a lot of documentation, users reports and seeing the kernel
offers various interfaces for this pourpose, i've come to the conclusion
that the smaps interface should offer the most accurate results.
I was thnking about using something like
cat /proc/$PID/smaps|grep $WHAT | awk 'BEGIN{TOT=0}{TOT=TOT+$2}END{print
TOT KB}'
to get the two sums i need, where WHAT is set in turn to Private_ and
then Shared_
Do you believe this method will give me the mesurement accuracy i need?
Thanks
Attilio

Bug#412194: further information / possible fix
Dear maintainers, after looking around in dmesg and other logs i finally found a disparity: While linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7 is booting with following clock: #Real Time Clock Driver v1.12ac #Generic RTC Driver v1.07 The linux-image-2.6.18-4-k7 uses pit as clocksource: #Time: pit clocksource has been installed. After further digging in the kernel archives and some boards i found that AMD-MPX-Chipset and dual cpu AthlonMP driven boards like mine preferably run with acpi_pm as clocksource. Just one happy case (same strange error, same idea working as a solution): http://www.thisishull.net/showthread.php?t=208106 However, after adding clocksource=acpi_pm as an additional boot option for linux-image-2.6.18-4-k7 it still seems to be ignored, as following dmesg-log-entries show: #Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=Debian root=801 clocksource=acpi_pm #... #Time: pit clocksource has been installed. Is there any other way i can force the correct clocksource? Thank you once again! Alexander Schories Tuebingen, Germany -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'll add armel support to SVN trunk in the next few weeks based on your patches (thanks). 2.6.18 is frozen for etch so I'm not sure it makes sense to add it at this point (although it probably also wouldn't break anything).

FWIW, this same chip works fine for me in an LX164 system; but you're the second to report problems with it on other alphas -- unfortunately, though, the first to confirm that it's a problem with current 2.6 kernels. The solution seems to be straightforward enough -- de4x5 should register as the driver for 1011:0002 and be shipped, and de2104x should not. The trouble is that we have limited information (... 2 users) that de4x5 works, so particularly if it's possible for this PCI ID to appear on other architectures, we may be trading one bug for another at the 11th hour. I'll prepare a patch for the kernel, but barring positive feedback from the rest of the kernel team, I'm only going to apply it to the experimental (- lenny) branch, not to the etch branch. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
