[PATCH v3 2/4] mm/ksm: add sysfs knobs for advisor

Stefan Roesch
2023-12-04T23:49:28Z

This adds four new knobs for the KSM advisor to influence its behaviour.

The knobs are:
- advisor_mode:
none: no advisor (default)
scan-time: scan time advisor
- advisor_max_cpu: 70 (default, cpu usage percent)
- advisor_min_pages: 500 (default)
- advisor_max_pages: 30000 (default)
- advisor_target_scan_time: 200 (default in seconds)

The new values will take effect on the next scan round.
