    xfs: add kmem allocation trace points · 0ad95687
    Dave Chinner authored
    When trying to correlate XFS kernel allocations to memory reclaim
    behaviour, it is useful to know what allocations XFS is actually
    attempting. This information is not directly available from
    tracepoints in the generic memory allocation and reclaim
    tracepoints, so these new trace points provide a high level
    indication of what the XFS memory demand actually is.
    
    There is no per-filesystem context in this code, so we just trace
    the type of allocation, the size and the allocation constraints.
    The kmem code also doesn't include much of the common XFS headers,
    so there are a few definitions that need to be added to the trace
    headers and a couple of types that need to be made common to avoid
    needing to include the whole world in the kmem code.
