The idea is to write a small vmstat-like program to display these statistics so every sysadmin can send the developers the information they need to get the VM finetuned for real workloads. Comments on the idea behind this patch or the implementation of the patch are very welcome. regards, Rik -- Bravely reimplemented by the knights who say "NIH". http://www.surriel.com/ http://distro.conectiva.com/ ===== fs/proc/proc_misc.c 1.30 vs edited ===== --- 1.30/fs/proc/proc_misc.c Tue Jul 2 19:46:32 2002 +++ edited/fs/proc/proc_misc.c Sun Jul 14 21:47:11 2002 @@ -159,7 +159,10 @@ "SwapTotal: %8lu kB\n" "SwapFree: %8lu kB\n" "Dirty: %8lu kB\n" - "Writeback: %8lu kB\n", + "Writeback: %8lu kB\n" + "PageTables: %8u kB\n" + "PteChainTot: %8u kB\n" + "PteChainUsed: %8u kB\n", K(i.totalram), K(i.freeram), K(i.sharedram), @@ -174,7 +177,10 @@ K(i.totalswap), K(i.freeswap), K(ps.nr_dirty), - K(ps.nr_writeback) + K(ps.nr_writeback), + K(atomic_read(&nr_page_table_pages)), + K(atomic_read(&nr_pte_chain_pages)), + atomic_read(&used_pte_chains_bytes) >> 10 ); return proc_calc_metrics(page, start, off, count, eof, len); @@ -347,9 +353,29 @@ } len += sprintf(page + len, - "\nctxt %lu\n" + "\npageallocs %u\n" + "pagefrees %u\n" + "pageactiv %u\n" + "pagedeact %u\n" + "pagefault %u\n" + "majorfault %u\n" + "pagescan %u\n" + "pagesteal %u\n" + "pageoutrun %u\n" + "allocstall %u\n" + "ctxt %lu\n" "btime %lu\n" "processes %lu\n", + kstat.pgalloc, + kstat.pgfree, + kstat.pgactivate, + kstat.pgdeactivate, + kstat.pgfault, + kstat.pgmajfault, + kstat.pgscan, + kstat.pgsteal, + kstat.pageoutrun, + kstat.allocstall, nr_context_switches(), xtime.tv_sec - jif / HZ, total_forks); ===== include/asm-arm/proc-armv/rmap.h 1.2 vs edited ===== --- 1.2/include/asm-arm/proc-armv/rmap.h Fri Jul 5 11:17:20 2002 +++ edited/include/asm-arm/proc-armv/rmap.h Sun Jul 14 10:21:42 2002 @@ -17,6 +17,7 @@ page->mm = mm; page->index = address & ~((PTRS_PER_PTE * PAGE_SIZE) - 1); + atomic_inc(&nr_page_table_pages); } static inline void pgtable_remove_rmap(pte_t * ptep) @@ -25,6 +26,7 @@ page->mm = NULL; page->index = 0; + atomic_dec(&nr_page_table_pages); } static inline struct mm_struct * ptep_to_mm(pte_t * ptep) ===== include/asm-generic/rmap.h 1.1 vs edited ===== --- 1.1/include/asm-generic/rmap.h Fri Jun 21 19:42:48 2002 +++ edited/include/asm-generic/rmap.h Sun Jul 14 10:22:04 2002 @@ -27,12 +27,14 @@ #endif page->mapping = (void *)mm; page->index = address & ~((PTRS_PER_PTE * PAGE_SIZE) - 1); + atomic_inc(&nr_page_table_pages); } static inline void pgtable_remove_rmap(struct page * page) { page->mapping = NULL; page->index = 0; + atomic_dec(&nr_page_table_pages); } static inline struct mm_struct * ptep_to_mm(pte_t * ptep) ===== include/linux/kernel_stat.h 1.5 vs edited ===== --- 1.5/include/linux/kernel_stat.h Tue Jun 18 02:25:22 2002 +++ edited/include/linux/kernel_stat.h Mon Jul 15 17:19:16 2002 @@ -26,6 +26,11 @@ unsigned int dk_drive_wblk[DK_MAX_MAJOR][DK_MAX_DISK]; unsigned int pgpgin, pgpgout; unsigned int pswpin, pswpout; + unsigned int pgalloc, pgfree; + unsigned int pgactivate, pgdeactivate; + unsigned int pgfault, pgmajfault; + unsigned int pgscan, pgsteal; + unsigned int pageoutrun, allocstall; #if !defined(CONFIG_ARCH_S390) unsigned int irqs[NR_CPUS][NR_IRQS]; #endif @@ -34,6 +39,13 @@ extern struct kernel_stat kstat; extern unsigned long nr_context_switches(void); + +/* + * Maybe we need to smp-ify kernel_stat some day.
