Subject: tools/mm: add page_owner_filter userspace tool
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 12:31:00 +0800

Add a userspace filtering tool for page_owner that supports per-fd
filtering with print_mode and NUMA node filters.

Features:
- Three print modes: stack (default), handle, stack_handle
- NUMA node filtering with flexible formats (single: 0, multiple: 0,1,2,
  range: 0-3, mixed: 0,2-3)
- Per-file-descriptor filter state for independent filtering

Usage examples:
  # Filter by print mode
  ./page_owner_filter -m handle
  ./page_owner_filter -m stack_handle

  # Filter by NUMA node
  ./page_owner_filter -n 0
  ./page_owner_filter -n 0-3

  # Combined filters
  ./page_owner_filter -m stack -n 0,1,2
  ./page_owner_filter -m handle -n 0,2-3

The tool validates inputs before sending commands to the kernel and
provides clear error messages when the kernel does not support per-fd
filtering.
