-----------

2009-12-10 00:21:57 -07:00
|
|
|
There are two variants of perf kmem:
|
2009-11-23 22:27:11 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'perf kmem record <command>' to record the kmem events
|
|
|
|
|
of an arbitrary workload.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-12-10 00:21:57 -07:00
|
|
|
'perf kmem stat' to report kernel memory statistics.

perf kmem: Add --live option for current allocation stat
Currently 'perf kmem stat --page' shows total (page) allocation stat by
default, but sometimes one might want to see live (total alloc-only)
requests/pages only. The new --live option does this by subtracting freed
allocation from the stat.
E.g.:
# perf kmem stat --page
SUMMARY (page allocator)
========================
Total allocation requests : 988,858 [ 4,045,368 KB ]
Total free requests : 886,484 [ 3,624,996 KB ]
Total alloc+freed requests : 885,969 [ 3,622,628 KB ]
Total alloc-only requests : 102,889 [ 422,740 KB ]
Total free-only requests : 515 [ 2,368 KB ]
Total allocation failures : 0 [ 0 KB ]

--live::
|
|
|
|
|
Show live page stat. The perf kmem shows total allocation stat by
|
|
|
|
|
default, but this option shows live (currently allocated) pages
|
|
|
|
|
instead. (This option works with --page option only)

|
|
|
--time=<start>,<stop>::
|
2016-11-29 10:15:45 -07:00
|
|
|
Only analyze samples within given time window: <start>,<stop>. Times
|
|
|
|
|
have the format seconds.microseconds. If start is not given (i.e., time
|
|
|
|
|
string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at the beginning of the file. If
|
|
|
|
|
stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis goes
|
|
|
|
|
to end of file.
