Mel Gorman 397487db69 mm: compaction: Add scanned and isolated counters for compaction 
Compaction already has tracepoints to count scanned and isolated pages
but it requires that ftrace be enabled and if that information has to be
written to disk then it can be disruptive. This patch adds vmstat counters
for compaction called compact_migrate_scanned, compact_free_scanned and
compact_isolated.

With these counters, it is possible to define a basic cost model for
compaction. This approximates of how much work compaction is doing and can
be compared that with an oprofile showing TLB misses and see if the cost of
compaction is being offset by THP for example. Minimally a compaction patch
can be evaluated in terms of whether it increases or decreases cost. The
basic cost model looks like this

Fundamental unit u:	a word	sizeof(void *)

Ca  = cost of struct page access = sizeof(struct page) / u

Cmc = Cost migrate page copy = (Ca + PAGE_SIZE/u) * 2
Cmf = Cost migrate failure   = Ca * 2
Ci  = Cost page isolation    = (Ca + Wi)
	where Wi is a constant that should reflect the approximate
	cost of the locking operation.

Csm = Cost migrate scanning = Ca
Csf = Cost free    scanning = Ca

Overall cost =	(Csm * compact_migrate_scanned) +
	      	(Csf * compact_free_scanned)    +
	      	(Ci  * compact_isolated)	+
		(Cmc * pgmigrate_success)	+
		(Cmf * pgmigrate_failed)

Where the values are read from /proc/vmstat.

This is very basic and ignores certain costs such as the allocation cost
to do a migrate page copy but any improvement to the model would still
use the same vmstat counters.
