Subject: [PATCH v3] mm: add thp_utilization metrics to debugfs

From: Alexander Zhu <alexlzhu@fb.com>

THPs have historically been enabled on a per application basis due to
performance increase or decrease depending on how the particular
application uses physical memory. When THPs are heavily utilized,
application performance improves due to fewer TLB cache misses.
It has long been suspected that performance regressions when THP
is enabled happens due to heavily underutilized anonymous THPs.

Previously there was no way to track how much of a THP is
actually being used. With this change, we seek to gain visibility
into the utilization of THPs in order to make more intelligent
decisions regarding paging.

This change introduces a tool that scans through all of physical
memory for anonymous THPs and groups them into buckets based
on utilization. It also includes an interface under
/sys/kernel/debug/thp_utilization.

Utilization of a THP is defined as the percentage of nonzero
pages in the THP. The worker thread will scan through all
of physical memory and obtain utilization of all anonymous
THPs. It will gather this information by periodically scanning
through all of physical memory for anonymous THPs, group them
into buckets based on utilization, and report utilization
information through debugfs under /sys/kernel/debug/thp_utilization.

Changes in v3:
-changed to use folio instead of page in thp_number_utilized_pages
method
-changed thp_number_utilized_pages to work on 32 bit architectures
with HIGHMEM.

Changes in v2:
-moved thp_utilization metrics from /proc to /sys/kernel/debug
-adjusted documentation to reflect that thp_utilization is no longer
in /proc
-changed is_anon_transparent_hugepage method to be static inline to
fix warning.
-removed unused *head pointer based on warning.
-adjust to use compound_head(page) instead of page in
thp_number_utilized_pages. There are rare instances where they
are not equivalent.
-fixed header to be v2. Previous v1 had v3 in the header by mistake.

+The utilization of transparent hugepages can be viewed by reading
+``/sys/kernel/debug/thp_utilization``. The utilization of a THP is defin=
ed
+as the ratio of non zero filled 4kb pages to the total number of pages i=
n a
+THP. The buckets are labelled by the range of total utilized 4kb pages w=
ith
+one line per utilization bucket. Each line contains the total number of
+THPs in that bucket and the total number of zero filled 4kb pages summed
+over all THPs in that bucket. The last two lines show the timestamp and
+duration respectively of the most recent scan over all of physical memor=
y.

 Note that reading the smaps file is expensive and reading it
 frequently will incur overhead.
