ksm: Kernel SamePage Merging

Ksm is code that allows merging of identical pages between one or more
applications, in a way invisible to the applications that use it.  Pages
that are merged are marked as read-only, then COWed when any application
tries to change them.

Whereas fork() allows sharing anonymous pages between parent and child,
ksm can share anonymous pages between unrelated processes.

Ksm works by walking over the memory pages of the applications it scans,
in order to find identical pages.  It uses two sorted data structures,
called the stable and unstable trees, to locate identical pages in an
effective way.

When ksm finds two identical pages, it marks them as readonly and merges
them into a single page.  After the pages have been marked as readonly and
merged into one, Linux treats them as normal copy-on-write pages, copying
to a fresh anonymous page if write access is required later.

Ksm scans and merges anonymous pages only in those memory areas that have
been registered with it by madvise(addr, length, MADV_MERGEABLE).

The ksm scanner is controlled by sysfs files in /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/:

max_kernel_pages - the maximum number of unswappable kernel pages
                   which may be allocated by ksm (0 for unlimited).

kernel_pages_allocated - how many ksm pages are currently allocated,
                         sharing identical content between different
                         processes (pages unswappable in this release).

pages_shared - how many pages have been saved by sharing with ksm pages
               (kernel_pages_allocated being excluded from this count).

pages_to_scan - how many pages ksm should scan before sleeping.

sleep_millisecs - how many milliseconds ksm should sleep between scans.

run - write 0 to disable ksm, read 0 while ksm is disabled (default),
      write 1 to run ksm, read 1 while ksm is running,
      write 2 to disable ksm and unmerge all its pages.

+/*
+ * A few notes about the KSM scanning process,
+ * to make it easier to understand the data structures below:
+ *
+ * In order to reduce excessive scanning, KSM sorts the memory pages by their
+ * contents into a data structure that holds pointers to the pages' locations.
+ *
+ * Since the contents of the pages may change at any moment, KSM cannot just
+ * insert the pages into a normal sorted tree and expect it to find anything.
+ * Therefore KSM uses two data structures - the stable and the unstable tree.
+ *
+ * The stable tree holds pointers to all the merged pages (ksm pages), sorted
+ * by their contents.  Because each such page is write-protected, searching on
+ * this tree is fully assured to be working (except when pages are unmapped),
+ * and therefore this tree is called the stable tree.
+ *
+ * In addition to the stable tree, KSM uses a second data structure called the
+ * unstable tree: this tree holds pointers to pages which have been found to
+ * be "unchanged for a period of time".  The unstable tree sorts these pages
+ * by their contents, but since they are not write-protected, KSM cannot rely
+ * upon the unstable tree to work correctly - the unstable tree is liable to
+ * be corrupted as its contents are modified, and so it is called unstable.
+ *
+ * KSM solves this problem by several techniques:
+ *
+ * 1) The unstable tree is flushed every time KSM completes scanning all
+ *    memory areas, and then the tree is rebuilt again from the beginning.
+ * 2) KSM will only insert into the unstable tree, pages whose hash value
+ *    has not changed since the previous scan of all memory areas.
+ * 3) The unstable tree is a RedBlack Tree - so its balancing is based on the
+ *    colors of the nodes and not on their contents, assuring that even when
+ *    the tree gets "corrupted" it won't get out of balance, so scanning time
+ *    remains the same (also, searching and inserting nodes in an rbtree uses
+ *    the same algorithm, so we have no overhead when we flush and rebuild).
+ * 4) KSM never flushes the stable tree, which means that even if it were to
+ *    take 10 attempts to find a page in the unstable tree, once it is found,
+ *    it is secured in the stable tree.  (When we scan a new page, we first
+ *    compare it against the stable tree, and then against the unstable tree.)
