Adds two new per-node fields, namely nr_memmap and nr_memmap_boot, to /sys/devices/system/node/nodeN/vmstat and a global Memmap 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. In contrast to most other memory consumption statistics, per-page metadata might not be included in MemTotal. For example, MemTotal does not include memblock allocations but includes buddy allocations. In this patch, exported field nr_memmap in /sys/devices/system/node/nodeN/vmstat would exclusively track buddy allocations while nr_memmap_boot would exclusively track memblock allocations. Furthermore, Memmap in /proc/meminfo would exclusively track buddy allocations allowing it to be compared against MemTotal. This memory depends on build configurations, machine architectures, and the way system is used: Build configuration may include extra fields into "struct page", and enable / disable "page_ext" Machine architecture defines base page sizes. For example 4K x86, 8K SPARC, 64K ARM64 (optionally), etc. The per-page metadata overhead is smaller on machines with larger page sizes. System use can change per-page overhead by using vmemmap optimizations with hugetlb pages, and emulated pmem devdax pages. Also, boot parameters can determine whether page_ext is needed to be allocated. This memory can be part of MemTotal or be outside MemTotal depending on whether the memory was hot-plugged, booted with, or hugetlb memory was returned back to the system. Utility for userspace: Application Optimization: Depending on the kernel version and command line options, the kernel would relinquish a different number of pages (that contain struct pages) when a hugetlb page is reserved (e.g., 0, 6 or 7 for a 2MB hugepage). The userspace application would want to know the exact savings achieved through page metadata deallocation without dealing with the intricacies of the kernel. Observability: Struct page overhead can only be calculated on-paper at boot time (e.g., 1.5% machine capacity). Beyond boot once hugepages are reserved or memory is hotplugged, the computation becomes complex. Per-page metrics will help explain part of the system memory overhead, which shall help guide memory optimizations and memory cgroup sizing. Debugging: Tracking the changes or absolute value in struct pages can help detect anomalies as they can be correlated with other metrics in the machine (e.g., memtotal, number of huge pages, etc). page_ext overheads: Some kernel features such as page_owner page_table_check that use page_ext can be optionally enabled via kernel parameters. Having the total per-page metadata information helps users precisely measure impact.
