DPDK uses second level memory allocation management, this makes regular memory profiler tool not applicant. This patch trys to provide a lightweight malloc and free logging, then show leaked memory entries based on logs.
This tool only target to malloc and free tracking, for memzone used by ring and mempool, "dump_memzone" in testpmd list them. There will be another example that enable and dump tracking as secondary process. This tool came from Mellanox internal Hackathon, thanks Shahaf Shuler <shah...@mellanox.com> who provided the idea.
