In the event of an oom kill, useful information about the killed process is printed to dmesg. Users, especially system administrators, will find it useful to immediately see the UID of the process. We already print uid when dumping eligible tasks so it is not overly hard to find that information in the oom report. However this information is unavailable when dumping of eligible tasks is disabled. In the following example, abuse_the_ram is the name of a program that attempts to iteratively allocate all available memory until it is stopped by force. Current message: Out of memory: Killed process 35389 (abuse_the_ram) total-vm:133718232kB, anon-rss:129624980kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB Patched message: Out of memory: Killed process 2739 (abuse_the_ram), total-vm:133880028kB, anon-rss:129754836kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:0 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/UID %d/UID:%u/ in printk] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1560362273-534-1-git-send-email-jsavitz@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Joel Savitz <jsavitz@redhat.com> Suggested-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Acked-by: Rafael Aquini <aquini@redhat.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
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.
