[PATCH V2 1/6] mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end

[Vlastimil Babka]

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@xxxxxxx>

This patch adds two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using
this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending
within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns
for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points
it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for
a workload.
