[PATCH 3/3] vmalloc: Add debugfs modfraginfo

From: Rick Edgecombe
Date: Wed Jun 20 2018 - 18:09:44 EST


Add debugfs file "modfraginfo" for providing info on module space
fragmentation. This can be used for determining if loadable module
randomization is causing any problems for extreme module loading situations,
like huge numbers of modules or extremely large modules.

Sample output when RANDOMIZE_BASE and X86_64 is configured:
Largest free space: 847253504
External Memory Fragementation: 20%
Allocations in backup area: 0

Sample output otherwise:
Largest free space: 847253504
External Memory Fragementation: 20%
