Subject: Memory profiling tools for Linux Kernel
Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2014 03:45:07 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140404004507.GE11310@gmail.com> (raw)

I was looking for some tools for memory profiling for Linux Kernel. I
I wish to analyze the memory usage statistics by comparing the results
(with and without the usage of Lookaside caches) by the consumer (Say
a certain driver).I found some tools such as kmemcheck[1] and KEDR [2]
but before I go further and explore these tools, I was wondering if
somebody has already used these tools to acquire similar statistics
or I should try out some other tool.

Thanks,
Kumar
