This is the last revision history alteration. Due to missing copyright notices and other problems, I preferred to keep things clean. So now you need to git-clone it again, but it will no longer be necessary in the future. Changes: - Refactored code, it's a lot cleaner now. - It now works on 32-bit machines, or at least I hope so: it no longer exhibits problems when the userspace is compiled with the -m32 flag. - We now use mmap() for almost anything. - kmemtraced copies /proc/kallsyms, so if you want to hack on kmemtrace-report, you no longer need to do all stuff on a kmemtrace-enabled kernel. - Probably other misc janitorial stuff. Priority todos: - Integrate Tom's UTT patch (thanks again). I'd first like to provide a UTT wrapper in the kernel to provide all those files without having to explicitly code things in kmemtrace. - Make it work cross-arch (endianness etc.). Kinda lower priority todos: - Add timestamps. Useful to measure allocations' lifetimes in a tangible way. Please take a shot at this and let me know what you think. Cheers, Eduard
