mm/page_ext: resurrect struct page extending code for debugging
When we debug something, we'd like to insert some information to every page. For this purpose, we sometimes modify struct page itself. But, this has drawbacks. First, it requires re-compile. This makes us hesitate to use the powerful debug feature so development process is slowed down. And, second, sometimes it is impossible to rebuild the kernel due to third party module dependency. At third, system behaviour would be largely different after re-compile, because it changes size of struct page greatly and this structure is accessed by every part of kernel. Keeping this as it is would be better to reproduce errornous situation. This feature is intended to overcome above mentioned problems. This feature allocates memory for extended data per page in certain place rather than the struct page itself. This memory can be accessed by the accessor functions provided by this code. During the boot process, it checks whether allocation of huge chunk of memory is needed or not. If not, it avoids allocating memory at all. With this advantage, we can include this feature into the kernel in default and can avoid rebuild and solve related problems. Until now, memcg uses this technique. But, now, memcg decides to embed their variable to struct page itself and it's code to extend struct page has been removed. I'd like to use this code to develop debug feature, so this patch resurrect it. To help these things to work well, this patch introduces two callbacks for clients. One is the need callback which is mandatory if user wants to avoid useless memory allocation at boot-time. The other is optional, init callback, which is used to do proper initialization after memory is allocated. Detailed explanation about purpose of these functions is in code comment. Please refer it. Others are completely same with previous extension code in memcg.

+ * struct page extension
+ *
+ * This is the feature to manage memory for extended data per page.
+ *
+ * Until now, we must modify struct page itself to store extra data per page.
+ * This requires rebuilding the kernel and it is really time consuming process.
+ * And, sometimes, rebuild is impossible due to third party module dependency.
+ * At last, enlarging struct page could cause un-wanted system behaviour change.
+ *
+ * This feature is intended to overcome above mentioned problems. This feature
+ * allocates memory for extended data per page in certain place rather than
+ * the struct page itself. This memory can be accessed by the accessor
+ * functions provided by this code. During the boot process, it checks whether
+ * allocation of huge chunk of memory is needed or not. If not, it avoids
+ * allocating memory at all. With this advantage, we can include this feature
+ * into the kernel in default and can avoid rebuild and solve related problems.
+ *
+ * To help these things to work well, there are two callbacks for clients. One
+ * is the need callback which is mandatory if user wants to avoid useless
+ * memory allocation at boot-time. The other is optional, init callback, which
+ * is used to do proper initialization after memory is allocated.
+ *
+ * The need callback is used to decide whether extended memory allocation is
+ * needed or not. Sometimes users want to deactivate some features in this
+ * boot and extra memory would be unneccessary. In this case, to avoid
+ * allocating huge chunk of memory, each clients represent their need of
+ * extra memory through the need callback. If one of the need callbacks
+ * returns true, it means that someone needs extra memory so that
+ * page extension core should allocates memory for page extension. If
+ * none of need callbacks return true, memory isn't needed at all in this boot
+ * and page extension core can skip to allocate memory. As result,
+ * none of memory is wasted.
+ *
+ * The init callback is used to do proper initialization after page extension
+ * is completely initialized. In sparse memory system, extra memory is
+ * allocated some time later than memmap is allocated. In other words, lifetime
+ * of memory for page extension isn't same with memmap for struct page.
+ * Therefore, clients can't store extra data until page extension is
+ * initialized, even if pages are allocated and used freely. This could
+ * cause inadequate state of extra data per page, so, to prevent it, client
+ * can utilize this callback to initialize the state of it correctly.
