The motivation behind this commit is to enhance the traceability and
understanding of memcg events. By integrating the function cgroup_name()
into the existing memcg tracepoints, this patch series introduces a new
tracepoint template for the begin() and end() events. It utilizes a
static __array() to store the cgroup name, enabling developers to easily
identify the cgroup associated with a specific memcg tracepoint event.
Additionally, this patch series introduces new shrink_memcg tracepoints
to facilitate non-direct memcg reclaim tracing and debugging.
Changes v2 since v1 at [1]:
- change the position of the "memcg" parameter to ensure backward
compatibility with userspace tools that use memcg tracepoints
- add additional CONFIG_MEMCG ifdefs to prevent the use of memcg
tracepoints when memcg is disabled
