It may provide more information about our OOM crashes to add a crash annotation that the linux memory pressure monitor sets when it detects a low memory scenario. This does not guarantee that all crashes related to OOMkiller will contain this annotation, since it's possible the memory pressure monitor may not detect low memory before the crash, but it will help expose some scenarios where low memory has been detected.

Adds a crash annotation, LinuxUnderMemoryPressure, which the memory pressure monitor updates based on whether or not it is under memory pressure.

My experience with data review is fairly limited, so apologies if anything is incorrect :)

DATA COLLECTION REVIEW RESPONSE:

Is there or will there be documentation that describes the schema for the ultimate data set available publicly, complete and accurate?

Yes.

Is there a control mechanism that allows the user to turn the data collection on and off?

Yes. This collection is Telemetry so can be controlled through Firefox's Preferences.

If the request is for permanent data collection, is there someone who will monitor the data over time?

Yes, Kris Wright is responsible.

Using the category system of data types on the Mozilla wiki, what collection type of data do the requested measurements fall under?

Category 1, Technical.

Is the data collection request for default-on or default-off?

Default off (crash reporting is opt-in).

Does the instrumentation include the addition of any new identifiers?

No.

Is the data collection covered by the existing Firefox privacy notice?

Yes.

Does the data collection use a third-party collection tool?

No.
