I found that page-types is very slow and my testing shows many timeout
errors. Here's an example with a simple program allocating 1000 thps.
$ time ./page-types -p $(pgrep -f test_alloc)
...
real 0m17.201s
user 0m16.889s
sys 0m0.312s
Most of time is spent in memset(). Currently memset() clears over whole
buffer for every walk_pfn() call, which is inefficient when walk_pfn()
is called from walk_vma(), because in that case walk_pfn() is called for
each pfn. So this patch limits the zero initialization only for the
first element.
$ time ./page-types.patched -p $(pgrep -f test_alloc)
...
real 0m0.182s
user 0m0.046s
sys 0m0.135s
