2026-09-26perf python: Port mem-phys-addr to perf moduleIan Rogers
Port mem-phys-addr.py to a standalone script in tools/perf/python/ using the perf.session API to read perf.data files and profile physical memory access types against /proc/iomem. Improvements compared to the legacy script: - Parse the full indentation hierarchy of /proc/iomem into a parent-child tree of frozen IomemEntry dataclasses (instead of only top-level indent-0 ranges), resolving physical addresses to the most specific sub-range (such as Kernel code/data/bss inside System RAM) and rolling child counts up into parent totals. - Support profiling multiple memory events in a single perf.data session (keyed by evsel name) instead of assuming a single global event. - Add argparse CLI options (-i/--input and --iomem to allow supplying an offline /proc/iomem snapshot from a target system). Add a shell test (test_mem_phys_addr_python.sh) to verify the standalone script.
