mm: update mark_victim tracepoints fields
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.
