2024-11-07alloc_tag: support for page allocation tag compressionSuren Baghdasaryan
Implement support for storing page allocation tag references directly in the page flags instead of page extensions. sysctl.vm.mem_profiling boot parameter it extended to provide a way for a user to request this mode. Enabling compression eliminates memory overhead caused by page_ext and results in better performance for page allocations. However this mode will not work if the number of available page flag bits is insufficient to address all kernel allocations. Such condition can happen during boot or when loading a module. If this condition is detected, memory allocation profiling gets disabled with an appropriate warning. By default compression mode is disabled.

2024-07-03Docs/mm/allocation-profiling: mark 'Theory of operation' as chapterSeongJae Park
'Theory of operation' part of allocation-profiling document is apparently a chapter. However, it is mistakenly marked as a document title. As a result, rendered mm document index page shows two items for the document. Fix it to be marked as a chapter.
