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.
