[PATCH] tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c: add switch between culling by stacktrace and txt

From: Yinan Zhang
Date: Mon Nov 29 2021 - 09:59:34 EST


Culling by comparing stacktrace would casue loss of some
information. For example, if there exists 2 blocks which
have the same stacktrace and the different head info

Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x108c48(...), pid 73696,
ts 1578829190639010 ns, free_ts 1576583851324450 ns
prep_new_page+0x80/0xb8
get_page_from_freelist+0x924/0xee8
__alloc_pages+0x138/0xc18
alloc_pages+0x80/0xf0
__page_cache_alloc+0x90/0xc8

Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x108c48(...), pid 61806,
ts 1354113726046100 ns, free_ts 1354104926841400 ns
prep_new_page+0x80/0xb8
get_page_from_freelist+0x924/0xee8
__alloc_pages+0x138/0xc18
alloc_pages+0x80/0xf0
__page_cache_alloc+0x90/0xc8

After culling, it would be like this

2 times, 2 pages:
Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x108c48(...), pid 73696,
ts 1578829190639010 ns, free_ts 1576583851324450 ns
prep_new_page+0x80/0xb8
get_page_from_freelist+0x924/0xee8
__alloc_pages+0x138/0xc18
alloc_pages+0x80/0xf0
__page_cache_alloc+0x90/0xc8

The info of second block missed. So, add -c to turn on culling
by stacktrace. By default, it will cull by txt.
