2012-03-28mm: move page-types.c from Documentation to tools/vmDave Young
tools/ is the better place for vm tools which are used by many people. Moving them to tools also make them open to more users instead of hide in Documentation folder. This patch moves page-types.c to tools/vm/page-types.c. Also add a Makefile in tools/vm and fix two coding style problems: a) change const arrary to 'const char * const', b) change a space to tab for indent.

2012-03-21pagemap: document KPF_THP and make page-types aware of itNaoya Horiguchi
page-types, which is a common user of pagemap, gets aware of thp with this patch. This helps system admins and kernel hackers know about how thp works.

2011-03-22Documentation/vm/page-types.c: auto debugfs mount for hwpoison operationChen Gong
page-types.c doesn't supply a way to specify the debugfs path and the original debugfs path is not usual on most machines. This patch supplies a way to auto mount debugfs if needed.

2009-12-15page-types: exit early when invoked with -d|--describeAlex Chiang
On a system with large amount of memory (256GB), invoking page-types can take quite a long time, which is unreasonable considering the user only wants a description of the flags: # time ./page-types -d 0x10 0x0000000000000010 ____D_____________________________ dirty real 0m34.285s user 0m1.966s sys 0m32.313s This is because we still walk the entire address range. Exiting early seems like a reasonble solution: # time ./page-types -d 0x10 0x0000000000000010 ____D_____________________________ dirty real 0m0.007s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.005s Signed-off-by: Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Haicheng Li <haicheng.li@intel.com> Acked-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-12-15page-types: learn to describe flags directly from command lineAlex Chiang
Teach page-types to describe page flags directly from the command line. Why is this useful? For instance, if you're using memory hotplug and see this in /var/log/messages: kernel: removing from LRU failed 3836dd0/1/1e00000000000010 It would be nice to decode those page flags without staring at the source. Example usage and output: # Documentation/vm/page-types -d 0x10 0x0000000000000010 ____D_____________________________ dirty # Documentation/vm/page-types -d anon 0x0000000000001000 ____________a_____________________ anonymous # Documentation/vm/page-types -d anon,0x10 0x0000000000001010 ____D_______a_____________________ dirty,anonymous [achiang@hp.com: documentation] Signed-off-by: Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Haicheng Li <haicheng.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
