    tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c: support for selecting by PID, TGID or task command name · 8ea8613a
    Jiajian Ye authored
    When viewing page owner information, we may also need to select the blocks
    by PID, TGID or task command name, which helps to get more accurate page
    allocation information as needed.
    
    Therefore, following adjustments are made:
    
    1. Add three new options, including --pid, --tgid and --name, to support
       the selection of information blocks by a specific pid, tgid and task
       command name. In addtion, multiple options are allowed to be used at
       the same time.
    
    	./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --pid <PID>
    	./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --tgid <TGID>
    	./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --name <TASK_COMMAND_NAME>
    
       Assuming a scenario when a multi-threaded program, ./demo (PID =
       5280), is running, and ./demo creates a child process (PID = 5281).
    
    	$ps
    	PID   TTY        TIME   CMD
    	5215  pts/0    00:00:00  bash
    	5280  pts/0    00:00:00  ./demo
    	5281  pts/0    00:00:00  ./demo
    	5282  pts/0    00:00:00  ps
    
       It would be better to filter out the records with tgid=5280 and the
       task name "demo" when debugging the parent process, and the specific
       usage is
    
    	./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --tgid 5280 --name demo
    
    2. Add explanations of three new options, including --pid, --tgid and
       --name, to the document.
