This toolset was designed to facilitate the testing, monitoring, and
tracing of various things with virtual memory, pages, and slab objects.
It is an invaluable resource for identifying and analyzing
memory-related issues, such as leaks and bottlenecks, and can greatly
enhance one's understanding of memory utilization within a system.

The mm toolset includes:
    - page_owner_sort: userspace helper to sort the output of
      /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner, which helps to know who allocates
      the page from kernel context
    - slabinfo: the tool which gets reports about slabs, for example
      show empty slabs, modify of slab debug options at runtime, display
      all information about a slabcache
    - page-types: a handy tool for querying page flags

Hello,

Add Peter Korsgaard and move "buildroot" mailing list from Cc.

Could you please take a look at this patchset? I believe that linux-mm
tools are helpful for investigating kernel memory distribution in
embedded systems.

Hello Arnout,

Please take a look into this patchset. I appreciate any feedback.

Dmitry, All,

On 2023-06-26 15:12 +0300, Dmitry Rokosov spake thusly:
> Please take a look into this patchset. I appreciate any feedback.

Don't be impatient. Your patch has been pending for about two seeks now.
We have 495 pending patches: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/list/
some of witch are so much older...

Yes, I know it can be frustrating. For various reasons, we've been a bit
less active than usual the past few months, but we'll eventually get to
it...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Thank you so much for the detailed reply! I wasn't aware of the backlog,
and I apologize for any misunderstanding caused by my eagerness. I fully
understand the situation now, so please don't worry - I'm happy to wait
my turn. Thank you for your hard work in maintaining buildroot!

Thanks for your patch, and sorry for the delay to get back to you with
a review.

All variables in a package must be prefixed with the package name.
Indeed, all variables in Buildroot are global, so if you define KVER
and another package defines KVER, they will conflict.

I think this is not the approach we should take here, because it's not
the approach taken by the other makefiles in package/linux-tools/.
Rather than testing the kernel version, we test the presence/absence of
a Makefile.

So something along the lines of:

        $(Q)if test -f $(LINUX_DIR)/tools/vm/Makefile ; then \
		MM_SUBDIR=vm
        elif test -f $(LINUX_DIR)/tools/mm/Makefile ; then \
		MM_SUBDIR=m
	else \
                echo "Your kernel version is too old and does not have the mm tool." ; \
                echo "At least kernel 3.4 must be used." ; \
                exit 1 ; \
        fi ; \
	$(TARGET_MAKE_ENV) $(MAKE) -C $(LINUX_DIR)/tools \
		$(MM_MAKE_OPTS) $${MM_SUBDIR}

or something along those lines. And of course, ditto for the install
step.

Could you rework your patch accordingly?

Thanks a lot!

Thomas

Many thanks for taking the time to review this patch series!

Please don't worry about the delay, as I completely understand that you
have a great deal of other review tasks to attend to.

Ah, okay. I had considered that approach but chose KVER testing instead.
No problem, I will rework it in the next version.
