tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c: support for selecting by PID, TGID or task command name
When viewing page owner information, we may also need to select the blocks by PID, TGID or task command name, which helps to get more accurate page allocation information as needed. Therefore, following adjustments are made: 1. Add three new options, including --pid, --tgid and --name, to support the selection of information blocks by a specific pid, tgid and task command name. In addtion, multiple options are allowed to be used at the same time. ./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --pid <PID> ./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --tgid <TGID> ./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --name <TASK_COMMAND_NAME> Assuming a scenario when a multi-threaded program, ./demo (PID = 5280), is running, and ./demo creates a child process (PID = 5281). $ps PID TTY TIME CMD 5215 pts/0 00:00:00 bash 5280 pts/0 00:00:00 ./demo 5281 pts/0 00:00:00 ./demo 5282 pts/0 00:00:00 ps It would be better to filter out the records with tgid=5280 and the task name "demo" when debugging the parent process, and the specific usage is ./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --tgid 5280 --name demo 2. Add explanations of three new options, including --pid, --tgid and --name, to the document.
