mm/page_ext: resurrect struct page extending code for debugging
When we debug something, we'd like to insert some information to every
page. For this purpose, we sometimes modify struct page itself. But,
this has drawbacks. First, it requires re-compile. This makes us
hesitate to use the powerful debug feature so development process is
slowed down. And, second, sometimes it is impossible to rebuild the
kernel due to third party module dependency. At third, system behaviour
would be largely different after re-compile, because it changes size of
struct page greatly and this structure is accessed by every part of
kernel. Keeping this as it is would be better to reproduce errornous
situation.
This feature is intended to overcome above mentioned problems. This
feature allocates memory for extended data per page in certain place
rather than the struct page itself. This memory can be accessed by the
accessor functions provided by this code. During the boot process, it
checks whether allocation of huge chunk of memory is needed or not. If
not, it avoids allocating memory at all. With this advantage, we can
include this feature into the kernel in default and can avoid rebuild and
solve related problems.
Until now, memcg uses this technique. But, now, memcg decides to embed
their variable to struct page itself and it's code to extend struct page
has been removed. I'd like to use this code to develop debug feature, so
this patch resurrect it.
To help these things to work well, this patch introduces two callbacks for
clients. One is the need callback which is mandatory if user wants to
avoid useless memory allocation at boot-time. The other is optional, init
callback, which is used to do proper initialization after memory is
allocated. Detailed explanation about purpose of these functions is in
code comment. Please refer it.
Others are completely same with previous extension code in memcg.

mm/debug-pagealloc: prepare boottime configurable on/off
Until now, debug-pagealloc needs extra flags in struct page, so we need to
recompile whole source code when we decide to use it. This is really
painful, because it takes some time to recompile and sometimes rebuild is
not possible due to third party module depending on struct page. So, we
can't use this good feature in many cases.
Now, we have the page extension feature that allows us to insert extra
flags to outside of struct page. This gets rid of third party module
issue mentioned above. And, this allows us to determine if we need extra
memory for this page extension in boottime. With these property, we can
avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime with low computational overhead in
the kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This will help our
development process greatly.
This patch is the preparation step to achive above goal. debug-pagealloc
originally uses extra field of struct page, but, after this patch, it will
use field of struct page_ext. Because memory for page_ext is allocated
later than initialization of page allocator in CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, we should
disable debug-pagealloc feature temporarily until initialization of
page_ext. This patch implements this.

mm/page_ref: add tracepoint to track down page reference manipulation
CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed by definition, but,
unfortunately, it would be failed sometimes. It is hard to track down
the problem, because it is related to page reference manipulation and we
don't have any facility to analyze it.
This patch adds tracepoints to track down page reference manipulation.
With it, we can find exact reason of failure and can fix the problem.
Following is an example of tracepoint output. (note: this example is
stale version that printing flags as the number. Recent version will
print it as human readable string.)

This output shows that problem comes from exit path. In exit path, to
improve performance, pages are not freed immediately. They are gathered
and processed by batch. During this process, migration cannot be
possible and CMA allocation is failed. This problem is hard to find
without this page reference tracepoint facility.
Enabling this feature bloat kernel text 30 KB in my configuration.

Note that, due to header file dependency problem between mm.h and
tracepoint.h, this feature has to open code the static key functions for
tracepoints. Proposed by Steven Rostedt in following link.
