NAME
----
perf kmem: Analyze page allocator events also 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. First run 'perf kmem record' to generate a suitable perf.data file: # perf kmem record --page sleep 5 Then run 'perf kmem stat' to postprocess the perf.data file: # perf kmem stat --page --alloc --line 10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PFN | Total alloc (KB) | Hits | Order | Mig.type | GFP flags ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4045014 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 4143980 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 3938658 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 4045400 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 3568708 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 3729824 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 3657210 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 4120750 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 3678850 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 3693874 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY (page allocator) ======================== Total allocation requests : 44,260 [ 177,256 KB ] Total free requests : 117 [ 468 KB ] Total alloc+freed requests : 49 [ 196 KB ] Total alloc-only requests : 44,211 [ 177,060 KB ] Total free-only requests : 68 [ 272 KB ] Total allocation failures : 0 [ 0 KB ] Order Unmovable Reclaimable Movable Reserved CMA/Isolated ----- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ 0 32 . 44,210 . . 1 . . . . . 2 . 18 . . . 3 . . . . . 4 . . . . . 5 . . . . . 6 . . . . . 7 . . . . . 8 . . . . . 9 . . . . . 10 . . . . .

OPTIONS
-------
-i <file>::
--input=<file>::
perf report: Accept fifos as input file The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.: # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first) While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file. Applies to the following commands: perf annotate perf buildid-list perf evlist perf kmem perf lock perf report perf sched perf script perf timechart Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename strings. v2: * Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in builtin-report.c. Needed due to removal of patch "perf report: Setup browser if stdout is a pipe" Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1323248577-11268-5-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
