Ah got it: it takes much time to "print" the raw trace data.

OK, finished with the file name with d_path(). I choose not to mangle
the possible '\n' in file names, and simply show "?" for such files,
for the sake of speed.

Thanks,

tracing: pagecache object collections

This dumps
- all cached files of a mounted fs  (the inode-cache)
- all cached pages of a cached file (the page-cache)

Usage and Sample output:

# echo /dev > /debug/tracing/objects/mm/pages/walk-fs
# tail /debug/tracing/trace
             zsh-2528  [000] 10429.172470: dump_inode: ino=889 size=0 cached=0 age=442 dirty=0 dev=0:18 file=/dev/console
             zsh-2528  [000] 10429.172472: dump_inode: ino=888 size=0 cached=0 age=442 dirty=7 dev=0:18 file=/dev/null
             zsh-2528  [000] 10429.172474: dump_inode: ino=887 size=40 cached=0 age=442 dirty=0 dev=0:18 file=/dev/shm
             zsh-2528  [000] 10429.172477: dump_inode: ino=886 size=40 cached=0 age=442 dirty=0 dev=0:18 file=/dev/pts
             zsh-2528  [000] 10429.172479: dump_inode: ino=885 size=11 cached=0 age=442 dirty=0 dev=0:18 file=/dev/core
             zsh-2528  [000] 10429.172481: dump_inode: ino=884 size=15 cached=0 age=442 dirty=0 dev=0:18 file=/dev/stderr
             zsh-2528  [000] 10429.172483: dump_inode: ino=883 size=15 cached=0 age=442 dirty=0 dev=0:18 file=/dev/stdout
             zsh-2528  [000] 10429.172486: dump_inode: ino=882 size=15 cached=0 age=442 dirty=0 dev=0:18 file=/dev/stdin
             zsh-2528  [000] 10429.172488: dump_inode: ino=881 size=13 cached=0 age=442 dirty=0 dev=0:18 file=/dev/fd
             zsh-2528  [000] 10429.172491: dump_inode: ino=872 size=13360 cached=0 age=442 dirty=0 dev=0:18 file=/dev

Here "age" is either age from inode create time, or from last dirty time.

TODO:

correctness
- reliably prevent ring buffer overflow,
  by replacing cond_resched() with some wait function
  (eg. wait until 2+ pages are free in ring buffer)
- use stable_page_flags() in recent kernel

output style
- use plain tracing output format (no fancy TASK-PID/.../FUNCTION fields)
- clear ring buffer before dumping the objects?
- output format: key=value pairs ==> header + tabbed values?
- add filtering options if necessary
