perf kmem: Improve man page for record options
...
Since:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200708183919.4141023-1-irogers@google.com/
The output option works for 'perf kmem', however, it must appear after
'record'. This is different to 'stat' where '-i' for the input must
appear before. Try to capture this complication in the man page.

perf kmem: Document a missing option & an argument
...
First, 'perf kmem' has a '--force' option, but didn't document it on the
man page. So add it.
Second, the '--time' option has to get a value, but isn't documented on
the man page. Describe it.

perf kmem: Add --live option for current allocation stat
...
Currently 'perf kmem stat --page' shows total (page) allocation stat by
default, but sometimes one might want to see live (total alloc-only)
requests/pages only. The new --live option does this by subtracting freed
allocation from the stat.
E.g.:
# perf kmem stat --page

perf kmem: Support sort keys on page analysis
...
Add new sort keys for page: page, order, migtype, gfp - existing
'bytes', 'hit' and 'callsite' sort keys also work for page. Note that
-s/--sort option should be preceded by either of --slab or --page option
to determine where the sort keys applies.
Now it properly groups and sorts allocation stats - so same
page/caller with different order/migtype/gfp will be printed on a
different line.
# perf kmem stat --page --caller -l 10 -s order,hit

perf kmem: Analyze page allocator events also
...
The perf kmem command records and analyze kernel memory allocation only
for SLAB objects. This patch implement a simple page allocator analyzer
using kmem:mm_page_alloc and kmem:mm_page_free events.
It adds two new options of --slab and --page. The --slab option is for
analyzing SLAB allocator and that's what perf kmem currently does.
The new --page option enables page allocator events and analyze kernel
memory usage in page unit. Currently, 'stat --alloc' subcommand is
implemented only.
If none of these --slab nor --page is specified, --slab is implied.
First run 'perf kmem record' to generate a suitable perf.data file:
# perf kmem record --page sleep 5
Then run 'perf kmem stat' to postprocess the perf.data file:
# perf kmem stat --page --alloc --line 10

perf report: Accept fifos as input file
...
The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as
perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected
behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.:
# perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat
failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first)
While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be
read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file.
Applies to the following commands:
perf annotate
perf buildid-list
perf evlist
perf kmem
perf lock
perf report
perf sched
perf script
perf timechart
Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename
strings.
v2:
* Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in
builtin-report.c. Needed due to removal of patch "perf report: Setup
browser if stdout is a pipe"
