Sorry for the late reply, but I finally have time to catchup on my inbox.

It would make more sense to put this logic into the TP_fast_assign() if
possible. This code is added at the location of execution, and even though
it may not run while tracing is disabled, it does affect icache.

Could you pass in the order (you already have migratetype) and then in the
trace event have:


 	TP_fast_assign(
 		__entry->pfn		= page ? page_to_pfn(page) : -1UL;
 		__entry->order		= order;
 		__entry->migratetype	= migratetype;
+		__entry->percpu_refill	= pcp_allowed_order(order) &&
					  migratetype < MIGRATE_PCPTYPES);
 	),

??
