[PATCH 3/4] perf kmem: Implement stat --page --caller

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Mar 16 2015 - 01:34:15 EST

It perf kmem support caller statistics for page. Unlike slab case,
the tracepoints in page allocator don't provide callsite info. So
it records with callchain and extracts callsite info.

Note that the callchain contains several memory allocation functions
which has no meaning for users. So skip those functions to get proper
callsites. I used following regex pattern to skip the allocator
functions:

^_?_?(alloc|get_free|get_zeroed)_pages?

This gave me a following list of functions:

# perf kmem record --page sleep 3
# perf kmem stat --page -v
...
alloc func: __get_free_pages
alloc func: get_zeroed_page
alloc func: alloc_pages_exact
alloc func: __alloc_pages_direct_compact
alloc func: __alloc_pages_nodemask
alloc func: alloc_page_interleave
alloc func: alloc_pages_current
alloc func: alloc_pages_vma
alloc func: alloc_page_buffers
alloc func: alloc_pages_exact_nid
...

The output looks mostly same as --alloc (I also added callsite column
to that) but groups entries by callsite. Currently, the order,
migrate type and GFP flag info is for the last allocation and not
guaranteed to be same for all allocations from the callsite.
