[PATCH] mm/vmstat: Add events for PMD based THP migration without split

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Thu May 21 2020 - 23:34:51 EST


This adds the following two new VM events which will help in validating PMD
based THP migration without split. Statistics reported through these events
will help in performance debugging.

1. THP_PMD_MIGRATION_SUCCESS
2. THP_PMD_MIGRATION_FAILURE
