I've been sitting on this for over a year now, kicking it out in the
hopes that someone finds it useful. kernel.org was down when I was
tidying this up so it's against 2.6.10 which is what I had handy.
/proc/kmalloc allocation tracing
This quick hack adds accounting for kmalloc/kfree callers. This can
aid in tracking down memory leaks and large dynamic memory users. The
stock version use ~280k of memory for hash tables and can track 32k
active allocations.
Here's some sample output from my laptop:
total bytes allocated: 47118848
slack bytes allocated: 8717262
net bytes allocated: 2825920
number of allocs: 132796
number of frees: 122629
number of callers: 325
lost callers: 0
lost allocs: 0
