Subject: [RFC][PATCH 0/8] introduce slabinfo extended mode

Hi,

Add 'extended' slabinfo mode that provides additional information:
 -- totals summary
 -- slabs sorted by size
 -- slabs sorted by loss (waste)

The patches also introduces several new slabinfo options to limit the
number of slabs reported, sort slabs by loss (waste); and some fixes.


Extended output example (slabinfo -X -N 2):

The last patch in the series addresses Linus' comment from
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=144148518703321&w=2

(well, it's been some time. sorry.)


gnuplot script takes the slabinfo records file, where every record is a `slabinfo -X'
output. So the basic workflow is, for example, as follows:

	while [ 1 ]; do slabinfo -X -N 2 >> stats; sleep 1; done
	^C
	slabinfo-gnuplot.sh stats

The last command will produce 3 png files (and 3 stats files)
-- graph of slabinfo totals
-- graph of slabs by size
-- graph of slabs by loss


It's also possible to select a range of records for plotting (a range of collected
slabinfo outputs) via `-r 10,100` (for example); and compare totals from several
measurements (to visially compare slabs behaviour (10,50 range)) using
pre-parsed totals files:
	slabinfo-gnuplot.sh -r 10,50 -t stats-totals1 .. stats-totals2



Examples of graphs will be attached in a follow up letter.


This also, technically, supports ktest. Upload new slabinfo to target,
collect the stats and give the resulting stats file to slabinfo-gnuplot
