[PATCH] mm: add statistics for PUD level pagetable

From: Baolin Wang
Date: Mon Sep 18 2023 - 02:34:08 EST


Recently, we found that cross-die access to pagetable pages on ARM64
machines can cause performance fluctuations in our business. Currently,
there are no PMU events available to track this situation on our ARM64
machines, so an accurate pagetable accounting can help to analyze this
issue, but now the PUD level pagetable accounting is missed.

So introducing pagetable_pud_ctor/dtor() to help to get an accurate
PUD pagetable accounting, as well as converting the architectures with
using generic PUD pagatable allocation to add corresponding PUD pagetable
accounting. Moreover this patch will also mark the PUD level pagetable
with PG_table flag, which will help to do sanity validation in unpoison_memory().

On my testing machine, I can see more pagetables statistics after the patch
with page-types tool:

Before patch:
flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags
0x0000000004000000 27326 106 __________________________g_________________ pgtable
After patch:
0x0000000004000000 27541 107 __________________________g_________________ pgtable
