[RFC,v10,5/6] fs/proc: Show STACKLEAK metrics in the /proc file system

Commit Message

Alexander Popov March 28, 2018, 7:57 p.m. UTC

Introduce CONFIG_STACKLEAK_METRICS providing STACKLEAK information about
tasks via the /proc file system. In particular, /proc/<pid>/stack_depth
shows the maximum kernel stack consumption for the current and previous
syscalls. Although this information is not precise, it  can be useful for
estimating the STACKLEAK performance impact for your workloads.
