There could be different types of memory in the system. E.g normal
System Memory, Persistent Memory. To understand how the workload maps to
those memories, it's important to know the I/O statistics of them. Perf
can collect physical addresses, but those are raw data. It still needs
extra work to resolve the physical addresses. Provide a script to
facilitate the physical addresses resolving and I/O statistics.
Profile with MEM_INST_RETIRED.ALL_LOADS or MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.ALL_LOADS
event if any of them is available.
Look up the /proc/iomem and resolve the physical address. Provide
memory type summary.
Here is an example output:
# perf script report mem-phys-addr
Event: mem_inst_retired.all_loads:P
Memory type count percentage
---------------------------------------- ----------- -----------
System RAM 74 53.2%
Persistent Memory 55 39.6%
N/A

Changes since V2:
- Apply the new license rules.
- Add comments for globals
Changes since V1:
- Do not mix DLA and Load Latency. Do not compare the loads and stores.
Only profile the loads.
- Use event name to replace the RAW event
