This patchset implements several improvements: 1. Gracefully handles module unloading while there are used allocations allocated from that module; 2. Provides an option to store page allocation tag references in the page flags, removing dependency on page extensions and eliminating the memory overhead from storing page allocation references (~0.2% of total system memory). This also improves page allocation performance when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING is enabled by eliminating page extension lookup. Page allocation performance overhead is reduced from 41% to 5.5%. Patch #1 introduces mas_for_each_rev() helper function. Patch #2 copies module tags into virtually contiguous memory which serves two purposes: - Lets us deal with the situation when module is unloaded while there are still live allocations from that module. Since we are using a copy version of the tags we can safely unload the module. Space and gaps in this contiguous memory are managed using a maple tree. - Enables simple indexing of the tags in the later patches. Patch #3 changes the way we allocate virtually contiguous memory for module tags to reserve only vitrual area and populate physical pages only as needed at module load time. Patch #4 abstracts page allocation tag reference to simplify later changes. Patch #5 adds a config to store page allocation tag references inside page flags if they fit. If the number of available page flag bits is insufficient to address all kernel allocations, profiling falls back to using page extensions with an appropriate warning. Patchset applies to mm-unstable.
