[PATCH 4/6] perf kmem: Analyze page allocator events also

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Thu Mar 12 2015 - 03:38:59 EST

The perf kmem command records and analyze kernel memory allocation
only for SLAB objects. This patch implement a simple page allocator
analyzer using kmem:mm_page_alloc and kmem_mm_page_free events.

It adds two new options of --slab and --page. The --slab option is
for analyzing SLAB allocator and that's what perf kmem currently does.

The new --page option enables page allocator events and analyze kernel
memory usage in page unit. Currently, 'stat --alloc' subcommand is
implemented only.

If none of these --slab nor --page is specified, --slab is implied.

# perf kmem stat --page --alloc --line 10
