Patch series "Memory allocation profiling", v6.
Overview:
Low overhead [1] per-callsite memory allocation profiling. Not just for
debug kernels, overhead low enough to be deployed in production.
Example output:

Usage:
kconfig options:
- CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING
- CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT
- CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG
adds warnings for allocations that weren't accounted because of a
missing annotation
sysctl:
/proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling
Runtime info:
/proc/allocinfo
Notes:
[1]: Overhead
To measure the overhead we are comparing the following configurations:
(1) Baseline with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=n
(2) Disabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n)
(3) Enabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=y)
(4) Enabled at runtime (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n && /proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling=1)
(5) Baseline with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y && allocating with __GFP_ACCOUNT
(6) Disabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n) && CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y
(7) Enabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=y) && CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y
Performance overhead:
To evaluate performance we implemented an in-kernel test executing
multiple get_free_page/free_page and kmalloc/kfree calls with allocation
sizes growing from 8 to 240 bytes with CPU frequency set to max and CPU
affinity set to a specific CPU to minimize the noise. Below are results
from running the test on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS with 6.8.0-rc1 kernel on
56 core Intel Xeon:
kmalloc pgalloc
(1 baseline) 6.764s 16.902s
(2 default disabled) 6.793s (+0.43%) 17.007s (+0.62%)
(3 default enabled) 7.197s (+6.40%) 23.666s (+40.02%)
(4 runtime enabled) 7.405s (+9.48%) 23.901s (+41.41%)
(5 memcg) 13.388s (+97.94%) 48.460s (+186.71%)
(6 def disabled+memcg) 13.332s (+97.10%) 48.105s (+184.61%)
(7 def enabled+memcg) 13.446s (+98.78%) 54.963s (+225.18%)

Memory consumption on a 56 core Intel CPU with 125GB of memory:
Code tags: 192 kB
PageExts: 262144 kB (256MB)
SlabExts: 9876 kB (9.6MB)
PcpuExts: 512 kB (0.5MB)
Total overhead is 0.2% of total memory.

This patch (of 37):
The next patch drops vmalloc.h from a system header in order to fix a
circular dependency; this adds it to all the files that were pulling it in
implicitly.
