Subject: [patch] perf.data documentation has wrong units for memory size
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.21.1907251155500.22624@macbook-air>

The perf.data-file-format documentation incorrectly says the 
HEADER_TOTAL_MEM results are in bytes.  The results are in kilobytes
(perf reads the value from /proc/meminfo)
