From: Ridong Chen <redacted> Several vmscan tracepoints spell out reclaim state as individual arguments, all of which the caller already holds in struct scan_control. Now that the struct is visible from the trace header, pass sc directly and pick the fields out in TP_fast_assign instead of spelling them out at every callsite: - mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_begin, mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_begin and mm_vmscan_node_reclaim_begin: gfp_mask and order. - mm_vmscan_lru_isolate, mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive and mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_active: reclaim_idx, order and priority. - mm_vmscan_reclaim_pages: nr_scanned. nr_reclaimed stays a separate argument: it is the return value of shrink_folio_list(), which does not update sc->nr_reclaimed. - mm_vmscan_balance_pgdat_end: order and nr_reclaimed. highest_zoneidx stays a separate argument: it is a balance_pgdat() parameter, and sc.reclaim_idx may differ from it by the time the end event fires. No functional change. The tracefs event format (TP_STRUCT__entry and TP_printk) is unchanged, so tracefs-based consumers are unaffected. BPF programs attached via raw_tp/tp_btf see the new TP_PROTO and need to be adjusted; tracepoints are not a stable ABI (see Documentation/bpf/bpf_design_QA.rst).
