Here's ksm w/ a user interface built around madvise for registering and
sysfs for controlling (should just drop config tristate and make it bool,
CONFIG_KSM= y or n).
#include Izik's changelog
Ksm is driver that allow merging identical pages between one or more
applications in way unvisible to the application that use it.
Pages that are merged are marked as readonly and are COWed when any
application try to change them.
Ksm is used for cases where using fork() is not suitable,
one of this cases is where the pages of the application keep changing
dynamicly and the application cannot know in advance what pages are
going to be identical.
Ksm works by walking over the memory pages of the applications it
scan in order to find identical pages.
It uses a two sorted data strctures called stable and unstable trees
to find in effective way the identical pages.
When ksm finds two identical pages, it marks them as readonly and merges
them into single one page,
after the pages are marked as readonly and merged into one page, linux
will treat this pages as normal copy_on_write pages and will fork them
when write access will happen to them.
Ksm scan just memory areas that were registred to be scanned by it.
Ksm api (for users to register region):
Register a memory region as shareable:
madvise(void *addr, size_t len, MADV_SHAREABLE)
Unregister a shareable memory region (not currently implemented):
madvise(void *addr, size_t len, MADV_UNSHAREABLE)
Ksm api (for users to control ksm scanning daemon):
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm
|-- pages_shared <-- RO, attribute showing number of pages shared
|-- pages_to_scan <-- RW, number of pages to scan per scan loop
|-- run <-- RW, whether scanning daemon should scan
`-- sleep <-- RW, number of usecs to sleep between scan loops

+ * Few notes about ksm scanning progress (make it easier to understand the
+ * data structures below):
+ *
+ * In order to reduce excessive scanning, ksm sort the memory pages by their
+ * contents into a data strcture that hold pointer into the pages.
+ *
+ * Since the contents of the pages may change at any moment, ksm cant just
+ * insert the pages into normal sorted tree and expect it to find anything.
+ *
+ * For this purpuse ksm use two data strctures - stable and unstable trees,
+ * the stable tree hold pointers into all the merged pages (KsmPage) sorted by
+ * their contents, beacuse that each such page have to be write-protected,
+ * searching on this tree is fully assuranced to be working and therefore this
+ * tree is called the stable tree.
+ *
+ * In addition to the stable tree, ksm use another data strcture called the
+ * unstable tree, this specific tree hold pointers into pages that have
+ * been found to be "unchanged for period of time", the unstable tree sort this
+ * pages by their contents, but given the fact that this pages are not
+ * write-protected, ksm cant trust the unstable tree to be fully assuranced to
+ * work.
+ * For the reason that the unstable tree would become corrupted when some of
+ * the page inside itself would change, the tree is called unstable.
+ * Ksm solve this problem by two ways:
+ * 1) the unstable tree get flushed every time ksm finish to scan the whole
+ * memory, and then the tree is rebuild from the begining.
+ * 2) Ksm will only insert into the unstable tree, pages that their hash value
+ * was not changed during the whole progress of one circuler scanning of the
+ * memory.
+ * 3) The unstable tree is RedBlack Tree - meaning its balancing is based on
+ * the colors of the nodes and not their content, this assure that even when
+ * the tree get "corrupted" we wont get out of balance and the timing of
+ * scanning is the same, another issue is that searching and inserting nodes
+ * into rbtree is the same algorithem, therefore we have no overhead when we
+ * flush the tree and rebuild it.
+ * 4) Ksm never flush the stable tree, this mean that even if it would take 10
+ * times to find page inside the unstable tree, as soon as we would find it,
+ * it will be secured inside the stable tree,
+ * (When we scan new page, we first compare it against the stable tree, and
+ * then against the unstable tree)
