[PATCH v21 0/6] Hierarchical Percpu Counters for RSS

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Hi Andrew,

Here is the hierarchical percpu counters for RSS accounting series
rebased on top of v7.3-rc1. It includes small bootup fixes which were
needed to fix bootup sequence on specific architectures, and a rename of
the test config option to include "KUNIT_".

This aims at replacing the prior version of the series you had
in mm.

As a reminder, the goal here is to provide more precise RSS counters
through /proc. A future step would be to also use these counters to
speed up the OOM killer task selection when OOM is triggered by
memcg. In whole-machine OOM situations, latency introduced by the
OOM killer task selection may not be too much of an issue, but for
memcg, where cgroups may routinely depend on the OOM killer, the
acceptable latency tradeoff is quite different.

Thanks,

Mathieu

  lib: introduce hierarchical per-cpu counters
  lib: test hierarchical per-cpu counters
  mm: improve RSS counter approximation accuracy for proc interfaces
  mm: reorder mm_struct flexible array to place mm_cpumask first
  init: move percpu_counter_tree_subsystem_init() earlier in boot
  lib: inline percpu_counter_tree_items_size with boot-safety sentinel
