[3/3] mm/page_alloc: Add trace event for totalreserve_pages calculation

Commit Message

Martin Liu March 3, 2025, 7:35 a.m. UTC

This commit introduces a new trace event,
`mm_calculate_totalreserve_pages`, which reports the new reserve value
at the exact time when it takes effect.

The `totalreserve_pages` value represents the total amount of memory
reserved across all zones and nodes in the system. This reserved memory
is crucial for ensuring that critical kernel operations have access to
sufficient memory, even under memory pressure.

By tracing the `totalreserve_pages` value, developers can gain insights
that how the total reserved memory changes over time.
