Ouch.  Do you have a way to get the per-instruction breakdown of this?
This function really isn't doing much.  I'll try to reproduce it here
too, I haven't seen such high costs with pft in the past.

   try_charge                                                                   0.150%     8928

Indeed! try_charge + get_mem_cgroup_from_mm which I would expect to be
the biggest consumers here are below 10% of the mem_cgroup_try_charge.

Note that they don't explain 10% of the mem_cgroup_try_charge. They *add* their own overhead to the overhead of mem_cgroup_try_charge itself. Which might be what you meant but I wasn't sure.

Other than that the function doesn't do much else than some flags
queries and css_put...

Do you have the full trace?
Sorry for a stupid question but do inlines
from other header files get accounted to memcontrol.c?

Yes, perf doesn't know about them so it's accounted to function where the code physically is.
