Subject: [PATCH] memtools: add lsmemregions command
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"; x-default=true
Prints memory regions general information including size, number
of
blocks, total free and total allocated memory per region. The
reason
behind is to have a tool that shows general information about
regions
and how fragmented the memory is at some particular time.
Below is an example showing how this tool before and after memory
stress.
grub> lsmemregions
Region 0x78f6e000 (size 33554368 blocks 1048574 free 27325472
alloc
6232768)
stress_big_allocations
...
grub> lsmemregions
Region 0x7af8e000 (size 4032 blocks 126 free 2720 alloc 1312)
Region 0x80c000 (size 81856 blocks 2558 free 81856 alloc 0)
Region 0x7d165000 (size 167872 blocks 5246 free 167872 alloc
0)
Region 0x7d0bf000 (size 655296 blocks 20478 free 655296 alloc
0)
Region 0x7ee00000 (size 1331136 blocks 41598 free 1331136
alloc 0)
Region 0x100000 (size 7385024 blocks 230782 free 7385024 alloc
0)
Region 0x7af95000 (size 25382848 blocks 793214 free 25382848
alloc
0)
Region 0x1780000 (size 2038357952 blocks 63698686 free
2077517536
alloc 5445568)

Indentation seems little off in above two lines. Could you please
recheck!

This "for" looks a little messy, if we can made it a little better
visually would be great for code understanding. Something like this
below or any other way too would be great.
init_p = (grub_mm_header_t) ALIGN_UP ((grub_addr_t) (r +
