Policy files contains a classification policy for dmprof.py.

Each line indicates a group to be classified and conditions for classifying
in the following format.
  Format: <group-name> <region-type> <pattern>

<group-name> is a name for the group to be classified.  Same names can appear
in the same policy file multiple times.  <region-type> represents a type of
the memory region.  It's one of {malloc, mmap, default, optional}.  <pattern>
is a Python-style regular expression to match with calling stack frames.

For each memory chunks allocated by malloc, its calling stack frame of malloc
is compared with these classification policies whose <region-type> is 'malloc'
from the top.  If <pattern> of the policy matches the frame, the memory chunk
is classified into <group-name>.  The same way for 'mmap'.

Policy lines whose <region-type>s are 'optional' and 'default' are used by
dmprof.py internally.  'optional' policies can be disabled by removing or
commenting-out.


Guidelines to write a new policy.

Better policies would classify memory on a single layer, or simple combination
of layers.  For example,
- Large-level components (V8, WebKit, ...)
- Mid-level components (Font, FileAPI, ...)
- Low-level libraries (StringImpl, HashTable, ...)
- Mid-level libraries (SharedBuf, XHR, ...)

For example of combinations,
- How about SharedBuf in Font API v.s. other APIs?
- How about Strings in IndexedDB v.s. File APIs?


Deprecated policies for references.
