Hi,
The first patch changes dump_kmeminfo() to report overcommit information
similar to that displayed under the proc/meminfo file. It may be useful to
indicate memory over commitment abuse, for example with forced vmcores from
system hangs due to shortage of memory. The intended output is as follows:
crash> kmem -i
PAGES TOTAL PERCENTAGE
TOTAL MEM 1965332 7.5 GB ----
FREE 78080 305 MB 3% of TOTAL MEM
USED 1887252 7.2 GB 96% of TOTAL MEM
SHARED 789954 3 GB 40% of TOTAL MEM

CACHED 1212645 4.6 GB 61% of TOTAL MEM
SLAB 146563 572.5 MB 7% of TOTAL MEM
TOTAL SWAP 1970175 7.5 GB ----
SWAP USED 5 20 KB 0% of TOTAL SWAP
SWAP FREE 1970170 7.5 GB 99% of TOTAL SWAP
COMMIT LIMIT 2952841 11.3 GB ----
COMMITTED 1150595 4.4 GB 38% of TOTAL LIMIT
The second patch simply removes dump_zone_page_usage().
Tested under 3.16.4-200.fc20.x86_64 only.
Though this should work under RHEL5 (2.6.18) and above.
