  • Rename mm_page_free_direct into mm_page_free and mm_pagevec_free into
    mm_page_free_batched

    Since v2.6.33-5426-gc475dab the kernel triggers mm_page_free_direct for
    all freed pages, not only for directly freed. So, let's name it properly.
    For pages freed via page-list we also trigger mm_page_free_batched event.

  • Knowing tracepoints exist is not quite the same as knowing what they
    should be used for. This patch adds a document giving a basic description
    of the kmem tracepoints and why they might be useful to a performance
    analyst.
