This change introduces a tool that scans through all of physical
memory for anonymous THPs and groups them into buckets based
on utilization. It also includes an interface under
/sys/kernel/debug/thp_utilization.
Sample Output:
Utilized[0-50]: 1331 680884
Utilized[51-101]: 9 3983
Utilized[102-152]: 3 1187
Utilized[153-203]: 0 0
Utilized[204-255]: 2 539
Utilized[256-306]: 5 1135
Utilized[307-357]: 1 192
Utilized[358-408]: 0 0
Utilized[409-459]: 1 57
Utilized[460-512]: 400 13
Last Scan Time: 223.98s
Last Scan Duration: 70.65s
This indicates that there are 1331 THPs that have between 0 and 50
utilized (non zero) pages. In total there are 680884 zero pages in
this utilization bucket. THPs in the [0-50] bucket compose 76% of total
THPs, and are responsible for 99% of total zero pages across all
THPs. In other words, the least utilized THPs are responsible for almost
all of the memory waste when THP is always enabled. Similar results
have been observed across production workloads.
The last two lines indicate the timestamp and duration of the most recent
scan through all of physical memory. Here we see that the last scan
occurred 223.98 seconds after boot time and took 70.65 seconds.
Utilization of a THP is defined as the percentage of nonzero
pages in the THP. The worker thread will scan through all
of physical memory and obtain utilization of all anonymous
THPs. It will gather this information by periodically scanning
through all of physical memory for anonymous THPs, group them
into buckets based on utilization, and report utilization
information through debugfs under /sys/kernel/debug/thp_utilization.

v3 to v4
-changed thp_utilization_bucket() function to take folios, saves conversion between page and folio
-added newlines where they were previously missing in v2-v3
-moved the thp utilization code out into its own file under mm/thp_utilization.c
-removed is_anonymous_transparent_hugepage function. Use folio_test_anon and folio_test_trans_huge instead.
-changed thp_number_utilized_pages to use memchr_inv
v1 to v2
-reversed ordering of is_transparent_hugepage and PageAnon in is_anon_transparent_hugepage, page->mapping is only meaningful for user pages
RFC to v1
-Refactored out the code to obtain the thp_utilization_bucket, as that now has to be used in multiple places.

@@ -304,6 +304,15 @@ To identify what applications are mapping file transparent huge pages, it
is necessary to read ``/proc/PID/smaps`` and count the FileHugeMapped fields
for each mapping.
+The utilization of transparent hugepages can be viewed by reading
+``/sys/kernel/debug/thp_utilization``. The utilization of a THP is defined
+as the ratio of non zero filled 4kb pages to the total number of pages in a
+THP. The buckets are labelled by the range of total utilized 4kb pages with
+one line per utilization bucket. Each line contains the total number of
+THPs in that bucket and the total number of zero filled 4kb pages summed
+over all THPs in that bucket. The last two lines show the timestamp and
+duration respectively of the most recent scan over all of physical memory.
+
Note that reading the smaps file is expensive and reading it
frequently will incur overhead.
