Some applications or containers want to use KSM by calling madvise() to advise areas of address space to be MERGEABLE. But they may not know which applications are more likely to cause real merges in the deployment. If this patch is applied, it helps them know their corresponding number of merged pages, and then optimize their app code. As current KSM only counts the number of KSM merging pages(e.g. ksm_pages_sharing and ksm_pages_shared) of the whole system, we cannot see the more fine-grained KSM merging, for the upper application optimization, the merging area cannot be set easily according to the KSM page merging probability of each process. Therefore, it is necessary to add extra statistical means so that the upper level users can know the detailed KSM merging information of each process. We add a new proc file named as ksm_merging_pages under /proc/<pid>/ to indicate the involved ksm merging pages of this process.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
