[PATCH v6 1/4] mm: add per-order mTHP anon_fault_alloc and anon_fault_fallback counters

From: Barry Song
Date: Fri Apr 12 2024 - 07:49:34 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 establishes the framework for per-order mTHP
counters. It begins by introducing the anon_fault_alloc and
anon_fault_fallback counters. Additionally, to maintain consistency
with thp_fault_fallback_charge in /proc/vmstat, this patch also tracks
anon_fault_fallback_charge when mem_cgroup_charge fails for mTHP.
Incorporating additional counters should now be straightforward as well.
