[PATCH v10-mte 7/7] arm64: mte: implement CONFIG_ARM64_MTE_SWAP_STATS

From: Alexander Potapenko
Date: Thu Dec 14 2023 - 06:07:53 EST


Provide a config to collect the usage statistics for ARM MTE tag
compression. This patch introduces allocation/deallocation counters
for buffers that were stored uncompressed (and thus occupy 128 bytes of
heap plus the Xarray overhead to store a pointer) and those that were
compressed into 8-byte pointers (effectively using 0 bytes of heap in
addition to the Xarray overhead).

The counters are exposed to the userspace via
/sys/kernel/debug/mteswap/stats:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/mteswap/stats
8 bytes: 102496 allocations, 67302 deallocations
128 bytes: 212234 allocations, 178278 deallocations
uncompressed tag storage size: 8851200
compressed tag storage size: 4346368

This patch was split off from the "arm64: mte: add compression support
to mteswap.c" patch
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/ZUVulBKVYK7cq2rJ@yury-ThinkPad/T/#m819ec30beb9de53d5c442f7e3247456f8966d88a)

v10-mte:
- added Catalin's Acked-by:

v9:
- add this patch, put the stats behind a separate config,
mention /sys/kernel/debug/mteswap/stats in the documentation

+Stats
+=====
+
+When `CONFIG_ARM64_MTE_SWAP_STATS` is enabled, `arch/arm64/mm/mteswap.c` exports
+usage statistics for tag compression used when swapping tagged pages. The data
+can be accessed via debugfs::
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mteswap/stats
+ 8 bytes: 10438 allocations, 10417 deallocations
+ 128 bytes: 26180 allocations, 26179 deallocations
+ uncompressed tag storage size: 2816
+ compressed tag storage size: 128
