Joel Fernandes (Google) b3d1411b67 mm: emit tracepoint when RSS changes
Useful to track how RSS is changing per TGID to detect spikes in RSS and
memory hogs.  Several Android teams have been using this patch in
various kernel trees for half a year now.  Many reported to me it is
really useful so I'm posting it upstream.

Initial patch developed by Tim Murray.  Changes I made from original
patch: o Prevent any additional space consumed by mm_struct.

Regarding the fact that the RSS may change too often thus flooding the
traces - note that, there is some "hysterisis" with this already.  That
is - We update the counter only if we receive 64 page faults due to
SPLIT_RSS_ACCOUNTING.  However, during zapping or copying of pte range,
the RSS is updated immediately which can become noisy/flooding.  In a
previous discussion, we agreed that BPF or ftrace can be used to rate
limit the signal if this becomes an issue.

Also note that I added wrappers to trace_rss_stat to prevent compiler
errors where linux/mm.h is included from tracing code, causing errors
such as:

    CC      kernel/trace/power-traces.o
  In file included from ./include/trace/define_trace.h:102,
                   from ./include/trace/events/kmem.h:342,

                   from ./include/linux/trace_events.h:6,
                   from ./include/trace/events/power.h:12,
                   from kernel/trace/power-traces.c:15:

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.
