From: cuibixuan <cuibixuan@xxxxxxxx>
do_shrink_slab() calculates the freeable memory through shrinker->count_objects(),
and then reclaims the memory through shrinker->scan_objects(). When reclaiming
memory, shrinker->count_objects() takes a certain amount of time:
Fun spend(us)
ext4_es_count 4302
ext4_es_scan 12
super_cache_count 4195
super_cache_scan 2103
Therefore, adding the trace event to count_objects() can more accurately
obtain the time taken for slab memory recycling.
Example of output:
kswapd0-103 [003] ..... 1098.317942: mm_shrink_count_start: kfree_rcu_shrink_count.cfi_jt+0x0/0x8 00000000c540ff51: nid: 0
kswapd0-103 [003] ..... 1098.317951: mm_shrink_count_end: kfree_rcu_shrink_count.cfi_jt+0x0/0x8 00000000c540ff51: nid: 0 freeable:36

v4: Add Reviewed-by and Changlog to every patch.
v3: Swap the positions of 'nid' and 'freeable' to prevent the hole in the trace event.
