Subject: [PATCH] mm/oom_killer: Add task UID to info message on an oom kill
Date:   Wed, 24 Apr 2019 14:20:13 -0400
Message-Id: <1556130013-19021-1-git-send-email-jsavitz@redhat.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

In the event of an oom kill, useful information about the killed
process is printed to dmesg. Users, especially system administrators,
will find it useful to immediately see the UID of the process.

In the following example, abuse_the_ram is the name of a program
that attempts to iteratively allocate all available memory until it is
stopped by force.

Current message:

Out of memory: Killed process 35389 (abuse_the_ram)
total-vm:133718232kB, anon-rss:129624980kB, file-rss:0kB,
shmem-rss:0kB

Patched message:

Out of memory: Killed process 2739 (abuse_the_ram), UID 0,
total-vm:133880028kB, anon-rss:129754836kB, file-rss:0kB,
shmem-rss:0kB
