Memory profiling tools for Linux Kernel

[aaditya.gavandalkar at yahoo.com]

Hi,

You can you a heap profiler to check heap usage for example massif.

Massif is a tool under valgrind package. You can research on valgrind more for other helpful tools as well. Memcheck is bydefault in usage in valgrind.

Massif gives data in form of a graph which can be printed using ms_print command. Graph tells about various allocations done from heap and at what time.

Hope this helps

Kind regards,
Aaditya Gavandalkar
