Subject: [PATCH 4/6] tracing, page-allocator: Add a postprocessing script for 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.
