We keep track of several kernel memory stats (total kernel memory, page tables, stack, vmalloc, etc) on multiple levels (global, per-node, per-memcg, etc). These stats give insights to users to how much memory is used by the kernel and for what purposes. Currently, memory used by kvm mmu is not accounted in any of those kernel memory stats. This patch series accounts the memory pages used by KVM for page tables in those stats in a new NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE stat. --- Changes in V4: - Changed accounting hooks in arm64 to only account s2 page tables and refactored them to a much cleaner form, based on recommendations from Oliver Upton and Marc Zyngier. - Dropped patches for mips and riscv. I am not interested in those archs anyway and don't have the resources to test them. I posted them for completeness but it doesn't seem like anyone was interested. Changes in V3: - Added NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE instead of piggybacking on NR_PAGETABLE stats. Changes in V2: - Added accounting stats for other archs than x86. - Changed locations in the code where x86 KVM page table stats were accounted based on suggestions from Sean Christopherson. --- Yosry Ahmed (4): mm: add NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE to count secondary page table uses. KVM: mmu: add a helper to account memory used by KVM mmu. KVM: x86/mmu: count KVM mmu usage in secondary pagetable stats.
