Pss is the sum of the sizes of clean and dirty private pages, and the proportional sizes of clean and dirty shared pages: Private = Private_Dirty + Private_Clean Shared_Proportional = Shared_Dirty_Proportional + Shared_Clean_Proportional Pss = Private + Shared_Proportional The Shared*Proportional fields are not present in smaps, so it is not always possible to determine how much of the Pss is from dirty pages and how much is from clean pages. This information can be useful for measuring memory usage for the purpose of optimisation, since clean pages can usually be discarded by the kernel immediately while dirty pages cannot. The smaps routines in the kernel already have access to this data, so add a Pss_Dirty to show it to userspace. Pss_Clean is not added since it can be calculated from Pss and Pss_Dirty.

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.
