13*4882a593SmuzhiyunDESCRIPTION
14*4882a593Smuzhiyun-----------
15*4882a593SmuzhiyunThere are two variants of perf kmem:
16*4882a593Smuzhiyun
17*4882a593Smuzhiyun  'perf kmem record <command>' to record the kmem events
18*4882a593Smuzhiyun  of an arbitrary workload.
19*4882a593Smuzhiyun
20*4882a593Smuzhiyun  'perf kmem stat' to report kernel memory statistics.
21*4882a593Smuzhiyun
22*4882a593SmuzhiyunOPTIONS
23*4882a593Smuzhiyun-------
24*4882a593Smuzhiyun-i <file>::
25*4882a593Smuzhiyun--input=<file>::
26*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Select the input file (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo)
27*4882a593Smuzhiyun
28*4882a593Smuzhiyun-f::
29*4882a593Smuzhiyun--force::
30*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Don't do ownership validation
31*4882a593Smuzhiyun
32*4882a593Smuzhiyun-v::
33*4882a593Smuzhiyun--verbose::
34*4882a593Smuzhiyun        Be more verbose. (show symbol address, etc)
35*4882a593Smuzhiyun
36*4882a593Smuzhiyun--caller::
37*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Show per-callsite statistics
38*4882a593Smuzhiyun
39*4882a593Smuzhiyun--alloc::
40*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Show per-allocation statistics
41*4882a593Smuzhiyun
42*4882a593Smuzhiyun-s <key[,key2...]>::
43*4882a593Smuzhiyun--sort=<key[,key2...]>::
44*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Sort the output (default: 'frag,hit,bytes' for slab and 'bytes,hit'
45*4882a593Smuzhiyun	for page).  Available sort keys are 'ptr, callsite, bytes, hit,
46*4882a593Smuzhiyun	pingpong, frag' for slab and 'page, callsite, bytes, hit, order,
47*4882a593Smuzhiyun	migtype, gfp' for page.  This option should be preceded by one of the
48*4882a593Smuzhiyun	mode selection options - i.e. --slab, --page, --alloc and/or --caller.
49*4882a593Smuzhiyun
50*4882a593Smuzhiyun-l <num>::
51*4882a593Smuzhiyun--line=<num>::
52*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Print n lines only
53*4882a593Smuzhiyun
54*4882a593Smuzhiyun--raw-ip::
55*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Print raw ip instead of symbol
56*4882a593Smuzhiyun
57*4882a593Smuzhiyun--slab::
58*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Analyze SLAB allocator events.
59*4882a593Smuzhiyun
60*4882a593Smuzhiyun--page::
61*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Analyze page allocator events
62*4882a593Smuzhiyun
63*4882a593Smuzhiyun--live::
64*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Show live page stat.  The perf kmem shows total allocation stat by
65*4882a593Smuzhiyun	default, but this option shows live (currently allocated) pages
66*4882a593Smuzhiyun	instead.  (This option works with --page option only)
67*4882a593Smuzhiyun
68*4882a593Smuzhiyun--time=<start>,<stop>::
69*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Only analyze samples within given time window: <start>,<stop>. Times
70*4882a593Smuzhiyun	have the format seconds.microseconds. If start is not given (i.e., time
71*4882a593Smuzhiyun	string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at the beginning of the file. If
72*4882a593Smuzhiyun	stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis goes
73*4882a593Smuzhiyun	to end of file.
