#!/usr/bin/env python # Try to determine how much RAM is currently being used per program. # Note per _program_, not per process. So for example this script # will report RAM used by all httpd process together. In detail it reports: # sum(private RAM for program processes) + sum(Shared RAM for program processes) # The shared RAM is problematic to calculate, and this script automatically # selects the most accurate method available for your kernel. # Licence: LGPLv2 # Author: P@draigBrady.com # Source: http://www.pixelbeat.org/scripts/ps_mem.py # V1.0 06 Jul 2005 Initial release # V1.1 11 Aug 2006 root permission required for accuracy # V1.2 08 Nov 2006 Add total to output # Use KiB,MiB,... for units rather than K,M,... # V1.3 22 Nov 2006 Ignore shared col from /proc/$pid/statm for # 2.6 kernels up to and including 2.6.9. # There it represented the total file backed extent # V1.4 23 Nov 2006 Remove total from output as it's meaningless # (the shared values overlap with other programs). # Display the shared column. This extra info is # useful, especially as it overlaps between programs. # V1.5 26 Mar 2007 Remove redundant recursion from human() # V1.6 05 Jun 2007 Also report number of processes with a given name. # Patch from riccardo.murri@gmail.com # V1.7 20 Sep 2007 Use PSS from /proc/$pid/smaps if available, which # fixes some over-estimation and allows totalling. # Enumerate the PIDs directly rather than using ps, # which fixes the possible race between reading # RSS with ps, and shared memory with this program. # Also we can show non truncated command names. # V1.8 28 Sep 2007 More accurate matching for stats in /proc/$pid/smaps # as otherwise could match libraries causing a crash. # Patch from patrice.bouchand.fedora@gmail.com # V1.9 20 Feb 2008 Fix invalid values reported when PSS is available. # Reported by Andrey Borzenkov # V3.1 10 May 2013 # http://github.com/pixelb/scripts/commits/master/scripts/ps_mem.py # Notes: # # All interpreted programs where the interpreter is started # by the shell or with env, will be merged to the interpreter # (as that's what's given to exec). For e.g. all python programs # starting with "#!/usr/bin/env python" will be grouped under python. # You can change this by using the full command line but that will # have the undesirable affect of splitting up programs started with # differing parameters (for e.g. mingetty tty[1-6]). # # For 2.6 kernels up to and including 2.6.13 and later 2.4 redhat kernels # (rmap vm without smaps) it can not be accurately determined how many pages # are shared between processes in general or within a program in our case: # http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/6/250 # A warning is printed if overestimation is possible. # In addition for 2.6 kernels up to 2.6.9 inclusive, the shared # value in /proc/$pid/statm is the total file-backed extent of a process. # We ignore that, introducing more overestimation, again printing a warning. # Since kernel 2.6.23-rc8-mm1 PSS is available in smaps, which allows # us to calculate a more accurate value for the total RAM used by programs. # # Programs that use CLONE_VM without CLONE_THREAD are discounted by assuming # they're the only programs that have the same /proc/$PID/smaps file for # each instance. This will fail if there are multiple real instances of a # program that then use CLONE_VM without CLONE_THREAD, or if a clone changes # its memory map while we're checksumming each /proc/$PID/smaps. # # I don't take account of memory allocated for a program # by other programs. For e.g. memory used in the X server for # a program could be determined, but is not. # # FreeBSD is supported if linprocfs is mounted at /compat/linux/proc/ # FreeBSD 8.0 supports up to a level of Linux 2.6.16 # TODO/FIXME: The script currently requires root permission to gather # memory usage details about all the processes.
