[RFC PATCH 03/30] Lazy percpu counters

[Suren Baghdasaryan]

From: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds lib/lazy-percpu-counter.c, which implements counters
that start out as atomics, but lazily switch to percpu mode if the
update rate crosses some threshold (arbitrarily set at 256 per second).

+ * Lazy percpu counters:
+ * (C) 2022 Kent Overstreet
+ *
+ * Lazy percpu counters start out in atomic mode, then switch to percpu mode if
+ * the update rate crosses some threshold.
+ *
+ * This means we don't have to decide between low memory overhead atomic
+ * counters and higher performance percpu counters - we can have our cake and
+ * eat it, too!
+ *
+ * Internally we use an atomic64_t, where the low bit indicates whether we're in
+ * percpu mode, and the high 8 bits are a secondary counter that's incremented
+ * when the counter is modified - meaning 55 bits of precision are available for
+ * the counter itself.
+ *
+ * lazy_percpu_counter is 16 bytes (on 64 bit machines), raw_lazy_percpu_counter
+ * is 8 bytes but requires a separate unsigned long to record when the counter
+ * wraps - because sometimes multiple counters are used together and can share
+ * the same timestamp.
