This will make sure we get invoked in time,
and combined with a kernel change to increase
the window size (and thus rate-limit the
notifications) based on the amount of memory
on the device, this should provide a nice
balance between receiving too many notifications
vs getting notified too late.

Add the following mount options to the /proc filesystem:
hidepid=2,gid=3009
This change blocks /proc access unless you're in group 3009
(aka AID_READPROC).
Please see
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt
for documentation on the hidepid option.
hidepid=2 is preferred over hidepid=1 since it leaks less information
and doesn't generate SELinux ptrace denials when trying to access
/proc without being in the proper group.
Add AID_READPROC to processes which need to access /proc entries for
other UIDs.

Opening /proc/zoneinfo may return -ENOMEM under memory pressure,
assume something needs to be killed if that happens.

The task selected to die may be small, add its approximate size
to other_free and other_file and keep killing until all thresholds
are met.

If kswapd runs more than lmkd it may throw away all page cache pages
before lmkd gets a chance to kill a process. Make lmkd SCHED_FIFO
so it can react quickly to kernel low memory notifications.

Use mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) to lock all lmkd pages in memory. This
avoids lmkd thrashing when the system is low on memory.
As a side effect, it will also keep the .text sections of liblog, libm,
libc, and libprocessgroup in memory at all times.

While lmkd does technically use libcutils' socket.h, it only
uses a static inline. Remove libcutils from LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES
so it doesn't end up mlock'd in memory in the next patch.

After sending sigkill to the main process, also call into
libprocessgroup to kill any processes that were forked.

Statically linked binaries cannot take advantage of ASLR,
making them less secure.
In addition, statically linked binaries consume more ram,
because shared libraries cannot be reused.

Use oom_score_adj for setting OOM score adjustment values instead
of the older, deprecated oom_adj interface.

Move kernel low memory killer logic to new daemon lmkd. ActivityManager
communicates with this daemon over a named socket.
