[PATCH 0/4] alloc_tag: Introduce selective tracing for MAP

[Abhishek Bapat]

The existing memory allocation profiling (MAP) tool accurately maintains
aggregate counters for overall memory accounting. However, relying
purely on aggregated counters restrics the visibility needed for
targeted debugging.

This patch series integrates three new tracepoints (alloc_tag_hit,
alloc_tag_mem_alloced and alloc_tag_mem_freed) directly into the
alloc_hooks_tag fast path.

Enabling trace events globally for all allocations introduces a severe
baseline overhead. To limit the performance overhead, we let the admin
select specific allocations to be traced.

A new IOCTL is introduced to allow privileged users to determine which
allocation tags need tracing enabled. The IOCTL utilizes the
pre-existing filtering mechanism to specify the allocation tags to
enable tracing on.

Abhishek Bapat (4):
  alloc_tag: Add trace events for tracing allocations
  alloc_tag: Introduce IOCTLs to toggle allocation tracepoints
  alloc_tag: extend allocinfo_filter to support tracing queries
  alloc_tag: add a test for trace state toggle and filtering
