$ sudo perf_3.18 stat -a -r 6 -e migrate:mm_migrate_pages sleep 10
Performance counter stats for 'system wide' (6 runs):
266,750 migrate:mm_migrate_pages ( +- 7.43% )
10.002032292 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.00% )
Bit more variance there than the pte checking, but runtime
difference is in the noise - 5m4s vs 4m54s - and profiles are
identical to the pte checking version.
Cheers,
Dave.
