Carlos Galo 2ea4658783 mm: update mark_victim tracepoints fields 
[ Upstream commit 72ba14deb4 ]

The current implementation of the mark_victim tracepoint provides only the
process ID (pid) of the victim process.  This limitation poses challenges
for userspace tools requiring real-time OOM analysis and intervention.
Although this information is available from the kernel logs, it’s not
the appropriate format to provide OOM notifications.  In Android, BPF
programs are used with the mark_victim trace events to notify userspace of
an OOM kill.  For consistency, update the trace event to include the same
information about the OOMed victim as the kernel logs.

- UID
   In Android each installed application has a unique UID. Including
   the `uid` assists in correlating OOM events with specific apps.

- Process Name (comm)
   Enables identification of the affected process.

- OOM Score
  Will allow userspace to get additional insight of the relative kill
  priority of the OOM victim. In Android, the oom_score_adj is used to
  categorize app state (foreground, background, etc.), which aids in
  analyzing user-perceptible impacts of OOM events [1].

- Total VM, RSS Stats, and pgtables
  Amount of memory used by the victim that will, potentially, be freed up
  by killing it.

README 

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.
