Dennis Zhou (Facebook) 7e8a6304d5 /proc/meminfo: add percpu populated pages count
Currently, percpu memory only exposes allocation and utilization
information via debugfs.  This more or less is only really useful for
understanding the fragmentation and allocation information at a per-chunk
level with a few global counters.  This is also gated behind a config.
BPF and cgroup, for example, have seen an increase in use causing
increased use of percpu memory.  Let's make it easier for someone to
identify how much memory is being used.

This patch adds the "Percpu" stat to meminfo to more easily look up how
much percpu memory is in use.  This number includes the cost for all
allocated backing pages and not just insight at the per a unit, per chunk
level.  Metadata is excluded.  I think excluding metadata is fair because
the backing memory scales with the numbere of cpus and can quickly
outweigh the metadata.  It also makes this calculation light.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
