Namhyung Kim 2a7ef02c9c perf kmem: Add --live option for current allocation stat
Currently 'perf kmem stat --page' shows total (page) allocation stat by
default, but sometimes one might want to see live (total alloc-only)
requests/pages only.  The new --live option does this by subtracting freed
allocation from the stat.

E.g.:

 # perf kmem stat --page

perf-kmem(1)
============
NAME
----
perf-kmem - Tool to trace/measure kernel memory properties
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf kmem' {record|stat} [<options>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
There are two variants of perf kmem:
'perf kmem record <command>' to record the kmem events
of an arbitrary workload.
'perf kmem stat' to report kernel memory statistics.
OPTIONS
-------
-i <file>::
--input=<file>::
Select the input file (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo)
-v::
--verbose::
Be more verbose. (show symbol address, etc)
--caller::
Show per-callsite statistics
--alloc::
Show per-allocation statistics
-s <key[,key2...]>::
--sort=<key[,key2...]>::
Sort the output (default: 'frag,hit,bytes' for slab and 'bytes,hit'
for page). Available sort keys are 'ptr, callsite, bytes, hit,
pingpong, frag' for slab and 'page, callsite, bytes, hit, order,
migtype, gfp' for page. This option should be preceded by one of the
mode selection options - i.e. --slab, --page, --alloc and/or --caller.
-l <num>::
--line=<num>::
Print n lines only
--raw-ip::
Print raw ip instead of symbol
--slab::
Analyze SLAB allocator events.
--page::
Analyze page allocator events
--live::
Show live page stat. The perf kmem shows total allocation stat by
default, but this option shows live (currently allocated) pages
instead. (This option works with --page option only)
