In Documentation/numastat.txt, it confused me. For example, there are
nodes [0,1] in system.
barrios:~$ cat /proc/zoneinfo | egrep 'numa|zone'
Node 0, zone DMA
numa_hit 33226
numa_miss 1739
numa_foreign 27978
..
..
Node 1, zone DMA
numa_hit 307
numa_miss 46900
numa_foreign 0
1) In node 0, NUMA_MISS means it wanted to allocate page
in node 1 but ended up with page in node 0
2) In node 0, NUMA_FOREIGN means it wanted to allocate page
in node 0 but ended up with page from Node 1.
But now, numastat explains it oppositely about (MISS, FOREIGN).
Let's fix up with viewpoint of zone.

Similarly, the perf PCL tools help files --help are there and the code

This patch adds a simple post-processing script for the
page-allocator-related trace events. It can be used to give an indication
of who the most allocator-intensive processes are and how often the zone
lock was taken during the tracing period. Example output looks like
Process Pages Pages Pages Pages PCPU PCPU PCPU Fragment Fragment MigType Fragment Fragment Unknown
details allocd allocd freed freed pages drains refills Fallback Causing Changed Severe Moderate
under lock direct pagevec drain
swapper-0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

khelper-12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Optionally, the output can include information on the parent or aggregate
based on process name instead of aggregating based on each pid. Example output
including parent information and stripped out the PID looks something like;
Process Pages Pages Pages Pages PCPU PCPU PCPU Fragment Fragment MigType Fragment Fragment Unknown
details allocd allocd freed freed pages drains refills Fallback Causing Changed Severe Moderate
under lock direct pagevec drain
gdm-3756 :: Xorg-3770 3796 2976 99 3813 3224 104 98 0 0 0 0 0 0

git-21447 :: editor-21448 4 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
This says that Xorg allocated 3796 pages and it's parent process is gdm
with a PID of 3756;
The postprocessor parses the text output of tracing. While there is a
binary format, the expectation is that the binary output can be readily
translated into text and post-processed offline. Obviously if the text
format changes, the parser will break but the regular expression parser is
fairly rudimentary so should be readily adjustable.

The patch makes the clear_refs more versatile in adding the option to
select anonymous pages or file backed pages for clearing. This addition
has a measurable impact on user space application performance as it
decreases the number of pagewalks in scenarios where one is only
interested in a specific type of page (anonymous or file mapped).
The patch adds anonymous and file backed filters to the clear_refs interface.

echo 3 > /proc/PID/clear_refs resets the bits on file backed pages only

Improve the example code to be at least useable, as in not causing
harm (as shown below). Code can still be improved further, but this
adds some basic safeguards.
1. hpfall *MUST* mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE); itself!
Since the Program sits and waits most of the time it becomes very likely
swapped out. If it gets woken up when the laptop drops from the table
while it is swapped out it actually triggers harddrive activity!
2. Daemonize hpfall using 'daemon(0,0)' (quick and dirty).
3. Give hpfall realtime priority.
Should give a chance that it has less latency when woken up.

test status analog (PAL-B):
- Sometimes picture is noisy, but it becomes crystal clear after
switching between channels. (happens for example at 687.25 Mhz)
- On a lower frequency (511.25 Mhz) the picture is always sharp, but
lacks colour.
- No sound problems.
- radio untested.
Digital:
- DVB-T/H stream reception works.
- Would expect to see some more channels in the higher frequency region.
Overall is the impression that sensitivity still needs improvement
both in analog and digital modes.
