Before this commit, the test checking `vmstat -m` (slabinfo) output uses
a fairly strict regular expression that only allows alphanumeric
characters and a few exceptions such as "_", "-", "(" and ")".
However, recent kernels use a wider range of characters, such as ">".
For instance, see this Linux commit which creates a "page->ptl" slab:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/memory.c?id=b35f1819acd9243a3ff7ad25b1fa8bd6bfe80fb2#n4283
Other patches for reporting slab usage per memcg include the names of
the cgroup in the slabinfo output, which can include additional
characters and use dots for abbreviation.
The check should not be so string, instead it could simply look for a
chain of non-whitespace characters and that should be enough.
Tested that `make check` is still working, including in some of the
environments where features that enable the additional slabinfo names.

COMPATIBILITY
This code is intended for use with Linux 2.6.xx, 3.x and
hopefully all future kernels.
INSTALLATION
If you are using git version of the project you need extra step.
./autogen.sh
After that, and everyone using .tar.xz version of procps-ng, can
do normal build. Read './configure --help' to select options for
your needs.
./configure
make
make install
If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite.
make check
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
TRANSLATING MAN PAGES
There is a three-step process for translating man pages. Most
of the work happens in the man-po directory.
make -C man-po translate-templates
Creates the translation templates (the .pot files) for translators
to use as a base. These, along with the tar file, should be sent
to the tp-coorindator before release.
make get-trans
rsyncs the latest translated (.po) files for both the programs and
man pages.
make -C man-po translate-mans
This is also called in the dist-hook and is where the translation
magic happens. Take the original man page, the relevant .po file
and produce a translated man page in that language.
All of the man pages generated are found in
man-po/(LANG)/man(SECTION)/
