+  kmem:mm_page_alloc_extfrag               [Tracepoint event]
+
+Then any (or all) of the above event sources can be activated and
+measured. For example the page alloc/free properties of a 'hackbench
+run' are:
+
+ titan:~> perf stat -e kmem:mm_page_pcpu_drain -e kmem:mm_page_alloc
+ -e kmem:mm_pagevec_free -e kmem:mm_page_free_direct ./hackbench 10

+ Performance counter stats for './hackbench 10':

+          20934  kmem:mm_page_free_direct
+
+    0.613972165  seconds time elapsed
+
+You can observe the statistical properties as well, by using the
+'repeat the workload N times' feature of perf stat:
+
+ titan:~> perf stat --repeat 5 -e kmem:mm_page_pcpu_drain -e
+   kmem:mm_page_alloc -e kmem:mm_pagevec_free -e

+ Time: 0.644
+ Time: 0.564
+ Time: 0.559
+ Time: 0.626

+
+          12920  kmem:mm_page_pcpu_drain    ( +-   3.359% )

+
+    0.643954516  seconds time elapsed   ( +-   2.363% )
+
+Furthermore, these tracepoints can be used to sample the workload as
+well. For example the page allocations done by a 'git gc' can be
+captured the following way:
+
+ titan:~/git> perf record -f -e kmem:mm_page_alloc -c 1 ./git gc
+ Counting objects: 1148, done.
+ Delta compression using up to 2 threads.
+ Compressing objects: 100% (450/450), done.

+ Total 1148 (delta 690), reused 1148 (delta 690)
+ [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.267 MB perf.data (~11679 samples) ]
+
+To check which functions generated page allocations:

+

+
+-d <seconds>::
+--delay=<seconds>::
+	Number of seconds to delay between refreshes.
+
+-e <event>::
+--event=<event>::
 	Select the PMU event. Selection can be a symbolic event name

 	event (eventsel+umask) in the form of rNNN where NNN is a
-	 hexadecimal event descriptor.
+	hexadecimal event descriptor.
 
--a::
-        system-wide collection
+-E <entries>::
+--entries=<entries>::
+	Display this many functions.
+
+-f <count>::

+	Only display functions with more events than this.
+
+-F <freq>::
+--freq=<freq>::
+	Profile at this frequency.
+
+-i::
+--inherit::
+	Child tasks inherit counters, only makes sens with -p option.
+
+-k <path>::
+--vmlinux=<path>::
+	Path to vmlinux.  Required for annotation functionality.
+
+-m <pages>::
+--mmap-pages=<pages>::
+	Number of mmapped data pages.
+
+-p <pid>::
+--pid=<pid>::
+	Profile events on existing pid.
+
+-r <priority>::
+--realtime=<priority>::
+	Collect data with this RT SCHED_FIFO priority.
+
+-s <symbol>::
+--sym-annotate=<symbol>::
+        Annotate this symbol.  Requires -k option.
+
+-v::
+--verbose::
+	Be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc).
+
+-z::
+--zero::
+	Zero history across display updates.
+
+INTERACTIVE PROMPTING KEYS
+--------------------------
+
+[d]::
+	Display refresh delay.
+
+[e]::
+	Number of entries to display.
+
+[E]::
+	Event to display when multiple counters are active.
+
+[f]::
+	Profile display filter (>= hit count).
+
+[F]::
+	Annotation display filter (>= % of total).
+
+[s]::
+	Annotate symbol.
+
+[S]::
+	Stop annotation, return to full profile display.
+
+[w]::
+	Toggle between weighted sum and individual count[E]r profile.
+
+[z]::
+	Toggle event count zeroing across display updates.
+
+[qQ]::
+	Quit.
+
+Pressing any unmapped key displays a menu, and prompts for input.
 
--l::
-        scale counter values
