2# This is a POC (proof of concept or piece of crap, take your pick) for reading the
3# text representation of trace output related to page allocation. It makes an attempt
4# to extract some high-level information on what is going on. The accuracy of the parser
5# may vary considerably
6#
7# Example usage: trace-pagealloc-postprocess.pl < /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
8# other options
9# --prepend-parent Report on the parent proc and PID
10# --read-procstat If the trace lacks process info, get it from /proc
11# --ignore-pid Aggregate processes of the same name together
