Mostly
Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>
but I loathe the alignment...

That looks nice...

... but on my terminal that comes out as

VmPeak:     4584 kB
VmSize:     4584 kB
VmLck:         0 kB
VmPin:         0 kB

VmRSS:      1264 kB
RssAnon:              84 kB
RssFile:            1180 kB
RssShm:        0 kB

VmStk:       136 kB
VmExe:        48 kB

VmPMD:        12 kB
VmSwap:        0 kB
HugetlbPages:          0 kB

Notice anything ugly about that?  Of course, what's really wrong was
the years-ago choice of absurdly short names, with a tab after them.
Ugh.  The HugetlbPages line probably can't be helped (even HugeTLB:
would be too long).  But your three, I hope we can do better: I can
understand why Rss instead of Vm, sure, Vm on the front contributes
nothing but incorrectness, and it wasn't a bad idea to group them as
contributors to VmRSS.

I suggest either indenting them with spaces to keep the alignment,

"  Anon:\t%8lu kB\n"
"  File:\t%8lu kB\n"
" Shmem:\t%8lu kB\n"

or keeping your Rss prefix but misaligning the three together,

"RssAnon:\t%8lu kB\n"
"RssFile:\t%8lu kB\n"
"RssShmem:\t%8lu kB\n"

I somewhat prefer "Shmem" to "Shm" because "Shmem" is what
/proc/meminfo already says, and "Shm" makes me think of SysV SHM only.
But I'd happily settle for Shm if it helped in the alignment.

I realize that /proc/<pid>/status is not universally loved for its
aesthetic charm, and I may be the only one who feels this way...
