11'perf kmem' {record|stat} [<options>]
12
13DESCRIPTION
14-----------
15There are two variants of perf kmem:
16
17  'perf kmem record <command>' to record the kmem events
18  of an arbitrary workload.
19
20  'perf kmem stat' to report kernel memory statistics.
21
22OPTIONS
23-------
24-i <file>::
25--input=<file>::
26	Select the input file (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo)
27
28-f::
29--force::
30	Don't do ownership validation
31
32-v::
33--verbose::
34        Be more verbose. (show symbol address, etc)
35
36--caller::
37	Show per-callsite statistics
38
39--alloc::
40	Show per-allocation statistics
41
42-s <key[,key2...]>::
43--sort=<key[,key2...]>::
44	Sort the output (default: 'frag,hit,bytes' for slab and 'bytes,hit'
45	for page).  Available sort keys are 'ptr, callsite, bytes, hit,
46	pingpong, frag' for slab and 'page, callsite, bytes, hit, order,
47	migtype, gfp' for page.  This option should be preceded by one of the
48	mode selection options - i.e. --slab, --page, --alloc and/or --caller.
49
50-l <num>::
51--line=<num>::
52	Print n lines only
53
54--raw-ip::
55	Print raw ip instead of symbol
56
57--slab::
58	Analyze SLAB allocator events.
59
60--page::
61	Analyze page allocator events
62
63--live::
64	Show live page stat.  The perf kmem shows total allocation stat by
65	default, but this option shows live (currently allocated) pages
66	instead.  (This option works with --page option only)
67
68--time=<start>,<stop>::
69	Only analyze samples within given time window: <start>,<stop>. Times
70	have the format seconds.microseconds. If start is not given (i.e., time
71	string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at the beginning of the file. If
72	stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis goes
73	to end of file.
