mm: update mark_victim tracepoints fields
The current implementation of the mark_victim tracepoint provides only the process ID (pid) of the victim process. This limitation poses challenges for userspace tools requiring real-time OOM analysis and intervention. Although this information is available from the kernel logs, it’s not the appropriate format to provide OOM notifications. In Android, BPF programs are used with the mark_victim trace events to notify userspace of an OOM kill. For consistency, update the trace event to include the same information about the OOMed victim as the kernel logs. - UID In Android each installed application has a unique UID. Including the `uid` assists in correlating OOM events with specific apps. - Process Name (comm) Enables identification of the affected process. - OOM Score Will allow userspace to get additional insight of the relative kill priority of the OOM victim. In Android, the oom_score_adj is used to categorize app state (foreground, background, etc.), which aids in analyzing user-perceptible impacts of OOM events [1]. - Total VM, RSS Stats, and pgtables Amount of memory used by the victim that will, potentially, be freed up by killing it.
