Add kernel-style events for sched_trace_XXX() functions

2012-03-30T13:39:33+00:00

Enable kernel-style events (tracepoint) for Litmus. Litmus events
trace the same functions as the sched_trace_XXX(), but can be
enabled independently.

So, why another tracing infrastructure then:
- Litmus tracepoints can be recorded and analyzed together (single
  time reference) with all other kernel tracing events (e.g.,
  sched:sched_switch, etc.). It's easier to correlate the effects
  of kernel events on litmus tasks.

- It enables a quick way to visualize and process schedule traces
  using trace-cmd utility and kernelshark visualizer.
  Kernelshark lacks unit-trace's schedule-correctness checks, but
  it enables a fast view of schedule traces and it has several
  filtering options (for all kernel events, not only Litmus').

vmscan: implement swap token priority aging

2011-06-16T03:03:59+00:00

While testing for memcg aware swap token, I observed a swap token was
often grabbed an intermittent running process (eg init, auditd) and they
never release a token.

Why?

Some processes (eg init, auditd, audispd) wake up when a process exiting.
And swap token can be get first page-in process when a process exiting
makes no swap token owner.  Thus such above intermittent running process
often get a token.

And currently, swap token priority is only decreased at page fault path.
Then, if the process sleep immediately after to grab swap token, the swap
token priority never be decreased.  That's obviously undesirable.

This patch implement very poor (and lightweight) priority aging.  It only
be affect to the above corner case and doesn't change swap tendency
workload performance (eg multi process qsbench load)
