The memcg stats are maintained in rstat infrastructure which provides very fast updates side and reasonable read side. However memcg added plethora of stats and made the read side, which is cgroup rstat flush, very slow. To solve that, threshold was added in the memcg stats read side i.e. no need to flush the stats if updates are within the threshold. This threshold based improvement worked for sometime but more stats were added to memcg and also the read codepath was getting triggered in the performance sensitive paths which made threshold based ratelimiting ineffective. We need more visibility into the hot and cold stats i.e. stats with a lot of updates. Let's add trace to get that visibility.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
