[PATCH 1/5] monitoring: add memory fragmentation eBPF monitoring support

Luis Chamberlain <[email protected]>
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.kdevops
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Add support for memory fragmentation monitoring using eBPF-based tracking,
we leverage the plot-fragmentation effort [0]. This provides real-time
tracking of memory allocation events and fragmentation indices with matplotlib
visualization.

Features:
- eBPF tracepoint-based fragmentation tracking
- Real-time fragmentation index monitoring
- Automatic plot generation with fragmentation_visualizer.py
- Configurable monitoring duration and output directory
- Integration with existing monitoring framework

The scripts are included directly in kdevops rather than cloning
an external repository for simplicity.

+	  Enable monitoring of memory fragmentation using eBPF-based tracking.
+	  This provides advanced memory fragmentation visualization using
+	  eBPF tracepoints and matplotlib.
+
+	  This tool tracks memory allocation events and fragmentation indices
+	  in real-time, providing insights that traditional methods like
+	  /proc/pagetypeinfo cannot fully capture.
+
+	  Features:
+	  - eBPF-based tracepoint tracking
+	  - Real-time fragmentation index monitoring
+	  - Page mobility tracking
+	  - Matplotlib visualization of fragmentation data
+
+	  Requirements:
+	  - Python 3 with python3-bpfcc
+	  - Kernel with required tracepoint support
+	  - Root privileges for eBPF attachment
+
+	  The tool is particularly useful for investigating whether Large Block
+	  Size support in the kernel creates worse fragmentation.
+

+	depends on MONITOR_MEMORY_FRAGMENTATION
+	help
+	  Duration to run fragmentation monitoring in seconds.
+	  Set to 0 for continuous monitoring until workflow completion.

+	help
+	  Directory where fragmentation monitoring data and plots will be stored.
+	  This directory will be created if it doesn't exist.
+
+	  The collected data includes:
+	  - Raw eBPF trace data
+	  - Generated matplotlib plots
+	  - JSON formatted fragmentation metrics
