      mm/page_owner: keep track of page owners · 48c96a36
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago.  It
      is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it
      remain as is.  Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak
      or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature.
      
      This functionality help us to know who allocates the page.  When
      allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra
      memory.  Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and
      analyze it from this stored information.
      
      In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in
      struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of
      struct page.  It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime
      without considerable memory waste.
      
      Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free,
      using it to analyze page owner is rather complex.  We need to enlarge the
      trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched.
      And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later
      analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather
      than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug.
      
      Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes.  For
      example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this
      patch.  And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature
      using this interface.
      
      I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature,
      but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history.  Sorry about that.

      tools/: Convert to new topic libraries · 553873e1

      Move debugfs.* to api/fs/. We have a common tools/lib/api/ place where
      the Makefile lives and then we place the headers in subdirs.
      
      For example, all the fs-related stuff goes to tools/lib/api/fs/ from
      which we get libapikfs.a (acme got almost the naming he wanted :-)) and
      we link it into the tools which need it - in this case perf and
      tools/vm/page-types.
      
      acme:
      
      "Looking at the implementation, I think some tools can even link
      directly to the .o files, avoiding the .a file altogether.
      
      But that is just an optimization/finer granularity tools/lib/
      cherrypicking that toolers can make use of."
      
      Fixup documentation cleaning target while at it.
