Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Logging the captured reference data
Hi,
This patch logs the reference data collected using the trace events
framework. To enable capturing the trace, insert the module and mount
debugfs.
# modprobe memref
# echo "memtrace:memtrace" > /debug/tracing/set_event
# echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/memtrace/memtrace/enable
# echo 1 > /debug/tracing/tracing_on
# echo 1 > /debug/tracing/tracing_enable
# cat /debug/tracing/trace

V | V
sample number | whether referenced
| or not
V
physical address of the
start of the block in MB
sample number is a monotonically increasing unique count associated with
a sample. Time stamp is for trace printing not access. The entire access
pattern for all blocks will be at each interval (10ms default).
This data can be post-processed by scripts to generate the overall memory
reference pattern for a given amount of time. Temporal and spatial
reference pattern can be obtained.
This is a statistical sample where any number of reference to a block
over the sampling interval is just marked as one.
