Last I checked the OOM killer was configurable. However the process of configuring it was so convoluted I doubt anyone has successfully done it.

For OOM, there's earlyoom [1] and systemd-oomd [2]. They usually work out of the box

How is that sufficiently different from the Halting Problem?

The halting problem asks you to conclusively answer if a arbitrary program will stop running in the future. This asks to stop running a given program when stats seem bad currently. I don't really see what the relation is supposed to be.

The solution doesn't have to be perfect.
