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

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
perf-kmem - Tool to trace/measure kernel memory properties
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'perf kmem' {record|stat} [<options>]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
There are two variants of perf kmem:
|
|
|
|
'perf kmem record <command>' to record the kmem events
|
|
of an arbitrary workload.
|
|
|
|
'perf kmem stat' to report kernel memory statistics.
|
|
|
|
