perf kmem: Support sort keys on page analysis
Add new sort keys for page: page, order, migtype, gfp - existing 'bytes', 'hit' and 'callsite' sort keys also work for page. Note that -s/--sort option should be preceded by either of --slab or --page option to determine where the sort keys applies. Now it properly groups and sorts allocation stats - so same page/caller with different order/migtype/gfp will be printed on a different line. # perf kmem stat --page --caller -l 10 -s order,hit ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total alloc (KB) | Hits | Order | Mig.type | GFP flags | Callsite ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 64 | 4 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 | new_slab 50,144 | 12,536 | 0 | MOVABLE | 0102005a | __page_cache_alloc 52 | 13 | 0 | UNMOVABL | 002084d0 | pte_alloc_one 40 | 10 | 0 | MOVABLE | 000280da | handle_mm_fault 28 | 7 | 0 | UNMOVABL | 000000d0 | __pollwait 20 | 5 | 0 | MOVABLE | 000200da | do_wp_page 20 | 5 | 0 | MOVABLE | 000200da | do_cow_fault 16 | 4 | 0 | UNMOVABL | 00000200 | __tlb_remove_page 16 | 4 | 0 | UNMOVABL | 000084d0 | __pmd_alloc 8 | 2 | 0 | UNMOVABL | 000084d0 | __pud_alloc ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <js1304@gmail.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1429592107-1807-3-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
