When viewing page owner information, we may want to select blocks whose
PID/TGID/TASK_COMM_NAME appears in a user-specified list for data analysis
and aggregation. But currently page_owner_sort only supports selecting
blocks associated with only one specified PID/TGID/TASK_COMM_NAME.
Therefore, following adjustments are made to fix the problem:
1. Enhance selecting function to support the selection of multiple
PIDs/TGIDs/TASK_COMM_NAMEs.
The enhanced usages are as follows:
--pid <pidlist> Select by pid. This selects the blocks whose PID
numbers appear in <pidlist>.
--tgid <tgidlist> Select by tgid. This selects the blocks whose
TGID numbers appear in <tgidlist>.
--name <cmdlist> Select by task command name. This selects the
blocks whose task command name appear in <cmdlist>.
Where <pidlist>, <tgidlist>, <cmdlist> are single arguments in the form of
a comma-separated list,which offers a way to specify individual selecting
rules.
For example, if you want to select blocks whose tgids are 1, 2 or 3, you
have to use 4 commands as follows:
./page_owner_sort <input> <output1> --tgid=1
./page_owner_sort <input> <output2> --tgid=2
./page_owner_sort <input> <output3> --tgid=3
cat <output1> <output2> <output3> > <output>
With this patch, you can use only 1 command to obtain the same result as
above:
./page_owner_sort <input> <output1> --tgid=1,2,3
2. Update explanations of --pid, --tgid and --name in the function
usage() and the document(Documents/vm/page_owner.rst).
