Linux系统内存相关信息获取

大型的服务器，特别是数据库服务器的主要瓶颈主要在内存，CPU，以及IO上。CPU是可再生资源，不够用等等就有了；内存和土地一样是不可再生资源，被占用了，后续的使用必须等到该资源释放.而IO也非常依赖于内存的使用情况,故内存的倒腾效率会大大影响服务器的效率,那么了解服务器内存的使用情况就非常重要。

Linux内核的内存相关的信息主要有下面几个获取管道，这里我们主要讨论的是系统级别的，没具体到各个进程级别：

1. 内核启动时候，VM内存相关模块初始化信息，透过dmesg查看。
详细描述可参考这里
比如：

NUMA: Using 30 for the hash shift.
Bootmem setup node 0 0000000000000000-0000000340000000
Bootmem setup node 1 0000000340000000-0000000640000000
On node 0 totalpages: 3095549
DMA zone: 2613 pages, LIFO batch:0
DMA32 zone: 765896 pages, LIFO batch:31
Normal zone: 2327040 pages, LIFO batch:31
On node 1 totalpages: 3102720
Normal zone: 3102720 pages, LIFO batch:31
…
Memory: 24543920k/26214400k available (2547k kernel code, 612792k reserved, 1289k data, 208k init)
…
Total HugeTLB memory allocated, 0
…

2. /proc/meminfo。
每个字段的意思，可参考这里
比如：

$cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 24545764 kB

3. sysrq-trigger的m键。
首先启用这个特性：
sudo sysctl kernel.sysrq=1
获取帮助：
echo h | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger
SysRq : HELP : loglevel0-8 reBoot Crashdump tErm Full kIll thaw-filesystems(J) saK showMem Nice powerOff showPc unRaw Sync showTasks Unmount shoWcpus
获取内存信息：
echo m | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger

SysRq : Show Memory

有了这些信息，我们可以详细知道内存资源是如何使用的以及目前剩余情况，为下一步的优化做些决策上的依据。信息的解读可以google相关的关键词，但是充分理解这些信息点，要对内核的VM相关部分很熟悉。
