This patch adds a new per-node PageMetadata field to /sys/devices/system/node/nodeN/meminfo and a global PageMetadata field to /proc/meminfo. This information can be used by users to see how much memory is being used by per-page metadata, which can vary depending on build configuration, machine architecture, and system use. Per-page metadata is the amount of memory that Linux needs in order to manage memory at the page granularity. The majority of such memory is used by "struct page" and "page_ext" data structures. Background ---------- Kernel overhead observability is missing some of the largest allocations during runtime, including vmemmap (struct pages) and page_ext. This patch aims to address this problem by exporting a new metric PageMetadata. On the contrary, the kernel does provide observibility for boot memory allocations. For example, the metric reserved_pages depicts the pages allocated by the bootmem allocator. This can be simply calculated as present_pages - managed_pages, which are both exported in /proc/zoneinfo. The metric reserved_pages is primarily composed of struct pages and page_ext. What about the struct pages (allocated by bootmem allocator) that are free'd during hugetlbfs allocations and then allocated by buddy-allocator once hugtlbfs pages are free'd? /proc/meminfo MemTotal changes: MemTotal does not include memblock allocations but includes buddy allocations. However, during runtime memblock allocations can be shifted into buddy allocations, and therefore become part of MemTotal. Once the struct pages get allocated by buddy allocator, we lose track of these struct page allocations overhead accounting. Therefore, we must export a new metric that we shall refer to as PageMetadata (exported by node). This shall also comprise the struct page and page_ext allocations made during runtime.
