[PATCH] tracing: add ACCOUNT flag for allocations from marked slab caches

From: Vasily Averin
Date: Mon May 16 2022 - 14:53:40 EST


Slab caches marked with SLAB_ACCOUNT force accounting for every
allocation from this cache even if __GFP_ACCOUNT flag is not passed.
Unfortunately, at the moment this flag is not visible in ftrace output,
and this makes it difficult to analyze the accounted allocations.

This patch adds the __GFP_ACCOUNT flag for allocations from slab caches
marked with SLAB_ACCOUNT to the ftrace output.
