lttng-instrumentation/lttng-instrumentation-page_alloc
LTTng instrumentation - page_alloc
Paging activity instrumentation. Instruments page allocation/free to keep track
of page allocation. This does not cover hugetlb activity, which is covered by a
separate patch.
Those tracepoints are used by LTTng.
About the performance impact of tracepoints (which is comparable to markers),
even without immediate values optimizations, tests done by Hideo Aoki on ia64
show no regression. His test case was using hackbench on a kernel where
scheduler instrumentation (about 5 events in code scheduler code) was added.
See the "Tracepoints" patch header for performance result detail.
