+NAME
+----
+perf-kmem - Tool to trace/measure kernel memory properties
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'perf kmem' [<options>] {record|stat}
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+There are two variants of perf kmem:
+
+  'perf kmem [<options>] record [<perf-record-options>] <command>' to
+  record the kmem events of an arbitrary workload. Additional 'perf
+  record' options may be specified after record, such as '-o' to
+  change the output file name.
+
+  'perf kmem [<options>] stat' to report kernel memory statistics.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-i <file>::
+--input=<file>::
+	For stat, select the input file (default: perf.data unless stdin is a
+	fifo)
+
+-f::
+--force::
+	Don't do ownership validation
+
+-v::
+--verbose::
+        Be more verbose. (show symbol address, etc)
+
+--caller::
+	Show per-callsite statistics
+
+--alloc::
+	Show per-allocation statistics
+
+-s <key[,key2...]>::
+--sort=<key[,key2...]>::
+	Sort the output (default: 'frag,hit,bytes' for slab and 'bytes,hit'
+	for page).  Available sort keys are 'ptr, callsite, bytes, hit,
+	pingpong, frag' for slab and 'page, callsite, bytes, hit, order,
+	migtype, gfp' for page.  This option should be preceded by one of the
+	mode selection options - i.e. --slab, --page, --alloc and/or --caller.
+
+-l <num>::
+--line=<num>::
+	Print n lines only
+
+--raw-ip::
+	Print raw ip instead of symbol
+
+--slab::
+	Analyze SLAB allocator events.
+
+--page::
+	Analyze page allocator events
+
+--live::
+	Show live page stat.  The perf kmem shows total allocation stat by
+	default, but this option shows live (currently allocated) pages
+	instead.  (This option works with --page option only)
+
+--time=<start>,<stop>::
+	Only analyze samples within given time window: <start>,<stop>. Times
+	have the format seconds.microseconds. If start is not given (i.e., time
+	string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at the beginning of the file. If
+	stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis goes
+	to end of file.
