f792cf8a09 perf kmem: Improve man page for record options
Since:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200708183919.4141023-1-irogers@google.com/

The output option works for 'perf kmem', however, it must appear after
'record'. This is different to 'stat' where '-i' for the input must
appear before. Try to capture this complication in the man page.

577980a000 perf kmem: Document a missing option & an argument
First, 'perf kmem' has a '--force' option, but didn't document it on the
man page. So add it.

Second, the '--time' option has to get a value, but isn't documented on
the man page. Describe it.

2a865bd8dd perf kmem: Add option to specify time window of interest
Add option to allow user to control analysis window. e.g., collect data
for time window and analyze a segment of interest within that window.

Committer notes:

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

fb4f313d30 perf kmem: Support sort keys on page analysis
Add new sort keys for page: page, order, migtype, gfp - existing
'bytes', 'hit' and 'callsite' sort keys also work for page.  Note that
-s/--sort option should be preceded by either of --slab or --page option
to determine where the sort keys applies.

Now it properly groups and sorts allocation stats - so same
page/caller with different order/migtype/gfp will be printed on a
different line.

 # perf kmem stat --page --caller -l 10 -s order,hit

0d68bc92c4 perf kmem: Analyze page allocator events also
The perf kmem command records and analyze kernel memory allocation only
for SLAB objects.  This patch implement a simple page allocator analyzer
using kmem:mm_page_alloc and kmem:mm_page_free events.

It adds two new options of --slab and --page.  The --slab option is for
analyzing SLAB allocator and that's what perf kmem currently does.

The new --page option enables page allocator events and analyze kernel
memory usage in page unit.  Currently, 'stat --alloc' subcommand is
implemented only.

If none of these --slab nor --page is specified, --slab is implied.

First run 'perf kmem record' to generate a suitable perf.data file:

  # perf kmem record --page sleep 5

Then run 'perf kmem stat' to postprocess the perf.data file:

  # perf kmem stat --page --alloc --line 10

bd72a33eba perf kmem: Allow -v option
Current perf kmem fails when -v option is used.  As it's very useful for
debugging, let's allow it.

efad14150a perf report: Accept fifos as input file
The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as
perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected
behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.:

 # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat
 failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory  (try 'perf record' first)

While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be
read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file.

Applies to the following commands:

 perf annotate
 perf buildid-list
 perf evlist
 perf kmem
 perf lock
 perf report
 perf sched
 perf script
 perf timechart

Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename
strings.

v2:
* Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in
  builtin-report.c. Needed due to removal of patch "perf report: Setup
  browser if stdout is a pipe"

90b86a9f7d perf kmem: Show usage if no option is specified
As Ingo suggested, make "perf kmem" show help information.
"perf kmem stat [--caller] [--alloc] .." will show memory
statistics.
