[PATCH v4 1/2] mm: add per-order mTHP anon_alloc and anon_alloc_fallback counters

From: Barry Song
Date: Fri Apr 05 2024 - 06:27:44 EST


From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@xxxxxxxx>

Profiling a system blindly with mTHP has become challenging due to the
lack of visibility into its operations. Presenting the success rate of
mTHP allocations appears to be pressing need.

Recently, I've been experiencing significant difficulty debugging
performance improvements and regressions without these figures.
It's crucial for us to understand the true effectiveness of mTHP in
real-world scenarios, especially in systems with fragmented memory.

This patch sets up the framework for per-order mTHP counters, starting
with the introduction of anon_alloc and anon_alloc_fallback counters.
Incorporating additional counters should now be straightforward as well.
