I'm sure everyone knows this, but I didn't, so I googled it, and found a
nice explanation from Linus.  Might be worth sticking in Documentation.

Move kmemtrace.txt, tracepoints.txt, ftrace.txt and mmiotrace.txt to
the new trace/ directory.

I didnt find any references to those documents in both source
files and documents, so no extra work needs to be done.

<title>mm: remove try_to_munlock from vmscan</title>

<id>63d6c5ad7fc27455ce5cb4706884671fb7e0df08</id>
<content type='text'>
An unfortunate feature of the Unevictable LRU work was that reclaiming an
anonymous page involved an extra scan through the anon_vma: to check that
the page is evictable before allocating swap, because the swap could not
be freed reliably soon afterwards.

Now try_to_free_swap() has replaced remove_exclusive_swap_page(), that's
not an issue any more: remove try_to_munlock() call from
shrink_page_list(), leaving it to try_to_munmap() to discover if the page
is one to be culled to the unevictable list - in which case then
try_to_free_swap().

Update unevictable-lru.txt to remove comments on the try_to_munlock() in
shrink_page_list(), and shorten some lines over 80 columns.

Users can pass kmemtrace.enabled=yes as a kernel parameter to enable kmemtrace
at boot so remove the useless CONFIG_KMEMTRACE_DEFAULT_ENABLED config option.
