The memstall is used as a memory pressure index now. But there're many
paths to get into memstall, so once memstall happens we don't know the
specific reason of it.
This patch introduces various types of memstall as bellow,
MEMSTALL_KSWAPD
MEMSTALL_RECLAIM_DIRECT
MEMSTALL_RECLAIM_MEMCG
MEMSTALL_RECLAIM_HIGH
MEMSTALL_KCOMPACTD
MEMSTALL_COMPACT
MEMSTALL_WORKINGSET_REFAULT
MEMSTALL_WORKINGSET_THRASHING
MEMSTALL_MEMDELAY
MEMSTALL_SWAPIO
and adds a new parameter 'type' in psi_memstall_{enter, leave}.
After that, we can trace specific types of memstall with other
powerful tools like tracepoint, kprobe, ebpf and etc. It can also help us
to analyze latency spike caused by memory pressure. But note that we
can't use it to build memory pressure for a specific type of memstall,
e.g. memcg pressure, compaction pressure and etc, because it doesn't
implement various types of task->in_memstall, e.g. task->in_memcgstall,
task->in_compactionstall and etc. IOW, the main goal of it is to trace
the spread of latencies and the specific reason of these latencies.
Although there're already some tracepoints can help us to achieve this
goal, e.g.
vmscan:mm_vmscan_kswapd_{wake, sleep}
vmscan:mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_{begin, end}
vmscan:mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_{begin, end}
/* no tracepoint for memcg high reclaim*/
compcation:mm_compaction_kcompactd_{wake, sleep}
compcation:mm_compaction_begin_{begin, end}
/* no tracepoint for workingset refault */
/* no tracepoint for workingset thrashing */
/* no tracepoint for use memdelay */
/* no tracepoint for swapio */
but psi_memstall_{enter, leave} gives us a unified entrance for all
types of memstall and we don't need to add many begin and end tracepoints
that hasn't been implemented yet.
