[PATCH 1/2 V3] add function getargnum

[dyoung-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA]

[-- Attachment #1: patch1 --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1505 bytes --]

For cmdline argument with numeric value, add a new function getargnum
It will get proper value with default value as $1, min value as $2,
max value as $3, and param name as $4. valid result will be echo to stdout.
for nul or value not valid it will just echo the default value.
Note: The values should be >=0

[v1->v2]: add arg <minval>
[v2->v3]: do not use bash string match =~

[PATCH 2/2 V3] Add memory usage trace to diffrent hook points

[dyoung-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA]

[-- Attachment #1: patch2 --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6719 bytes --]

Port mkdumprd memory trace functions wrote by jstancek-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org
For kdump, memory usage tracing is important because there's limited
memory in kdump 2nd kernel.

Add a rd.memdebug cmdline for this. set rd.memdebug=<X> will set the
debug level to X which is the debug verbose level.

the format of cmdline is like below:
<level>[+]:<type>
<level> is the debug level
[+] means debug level >= <level>
<type> is the debug info type, as for this patch I added mem, iomem, slab
mem is for /proc/meminfo, iomem is for /proc/iomem, slab is for /proc/slabinfo
Also shortmem is the stripped /proc/meminfo which only includes 3 lines of
Memfree, Cached and Slab, for example:
MemFree:         6327176 kB
Cached:           741916 kB
Slab:              77284 kB

I added several trace point to the begin of several init hooks
At cmdline hooks I'm adding trace of "1+:mem 1+:iomem 3+:slab"
For other hooks I'm adding trace of "1:shortmem 2+:mem 3+:slab"

This means:
rd.memdebug=1)
  cmdline hook: print mem and iomem
  other hooks: print shortmem
rd.memdebug=2)
  cmdline hook: print mem and iomem
  other hooks: print mem
rd.memdebug=3):
  cmdline hook: print mem iomem, and slabinfo
  other hooks: print mem and slabinfo
*):
  do not print any mem debug info

[v1->v2]: update to use getargnum with <minval> as argument
          print iomem info at cmdline hook as well
[v2->v3]: harald: use $() instead of ``
                  use bash string match instead of grep and pipe.

[PATCH 2/2 V4] Add memory usage trace to diffrent hook points

Hi, Here is an update of this patch, fixed the local variable issue.

Add memory usage trace to diffrent hook points

Port mkdumprd memory trace functions wrote by jstancek-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org
For kdump, memory usage tracing is important because there's limited

debug level to X which is the debug verbose level.

the format of cmdline is like below:
<level>[+]:<type>
<level> is the debug level

<type> is the debug info type, as for this patch I added mem, iomem, slab
mem is for /proc/meminfo, iomem is for /proc/iomem, slab is for /proc/slabinfo
Also shortmem is the stripped /proc/meminfo which only includes 3 lines of

I added several trace point to the begin of several init hooks
At cmdline hooks I'm adding trace of "1+:mem 1+:iomem 3+:slab"

*):

[v1->v2]: update to use getargnum with <minval> as argument
          print iomem info at cmdline hook as well
[v2->v3]: harald: use $() instead of ``
