*	mm-tracepoint: rename page-free events	Konstantin Khlebnikov	2012-01-10	1	-10/+10
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Rename mm_page_free_direct into mm_page_free and mm_pagevec_free into mm_page_free_batched Since v2.6.33-5426-gc475dab the kernel triggers mm_page_free_direct for all freed pages, not only for directly freed. So, let's name it properly. For pages freed via page-list we also trigger mm_page_free_batched event.

*	tracing, page-allocator: add a postprocessing script for ↵	Mel Gorman	2009-09-22	1	-0/+418
	page-allocator-related ftrace events This patch adds a simple post-processing script for the page-allocator-related trace events. It can be used to give an indication of who the most allocator-intensive processes are and how often the zone lock was taken during the tracing period. Example output looks like Process Pages Pages Pages Pages PCPU PCPU PCPU Fragment Fragment MigType Fragment Fragment Unknown details allocd allocd freed freed pages drains refills Fallback Causing Changed Severe Moderate under lock direct pagevec drain swapper-0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Xorg-3770 10603 5952 3685 6978 5996 194 192 0 0 0 0 0 0 modprobe-21397 51 0 0 86 31 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 xchat-5370 228 93 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 awesome-4317 32 32 0 0 0 0 32 0 0 0 0 0 0 thinkfan-3863 2 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 hald-addon-stor-3935 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 akregator-4506 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 xmms-14888 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 khelper-12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Optionally, the output can include information on the parent or aggregate based on process name instead of aggregating based on each pid. Example output including parent information and stripped out the PID looks something like; Process Pages Pages Pages Pages PCPU PCPU PCPU Fragment Fragment MigType Fragment Fragment Unknown details allocd allocd freed freed pages drains refills Fallback Causing Changed Severe Moderate under lock direct pagevec drain gdm-3756 :: Xorg-3770 3796 2976 99 3813 3224 104 98 0 0 0 0 0 0 init-1 :: hald-3892 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 git-21447 :: editor-21448 4 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 This says that Xorg allocated 3796 pages and it's parent process is gdm with a PID of 3756; The postprocessor parses the text output of tracing. While there is a binary format, the expectation is that the binary output can be readily translated into text and post-processed offline. Obviously if the text format changes, the parser will break but the regular expression parser is fairly rudimentary so should be readily adjustable.
