From
Subject[PATCH 2/5] memref module to walk the process page table
Date
Hi,

This patch introduces the memref module that walks through the page tables
of all the required processes to capture the reference pattern information.
The module makes use of the walk_page_range routine provided by the kernel.
Further, the module walks through the page tables of all the tasks that are
its children and in the same thread group. One of the reasons why a core
kernel backend is needed is that some of the routines/data needed to walk
through all the process and kernel page tables are not exported for use by
kernel modules.
