When a process updates the RSS of a different process, the rss_stat tracepoint appears in the context of the process doing the update. This can confuse userspace that the RSS of process doing the update is updated, while in reality a different process's RSS was updated. This issue happens in reclaim paths such as with direct reclaim or background reclaim. This patch adds more information to the tracepoint about whether the mm being updated belongs to the current process's context (curr field). We also include a hash of the mm pointer so that the process who the mm belongs to can be uniquely identified (mm_id field). Also vsprintf.c is refactored a bit to allow reuse of hashing code.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
