NAME
trace-cmd-mem - show memory usage of certain kmem events
SYNOPSIS
trace-cmd mem [OPTIONS][input-file]
DESCRIPTION
The trace-cmd(1) mem requires a trace-cmd record that enabled the
following events:
kmalloc
kmalloc_node
kfree
kmem_cache_alloc
kmem_cache_alloc_node
kmem_cache_alloc_free
It then reads the amount requested and the ammount freed as well
as the functions that called the allocation. It then reports the
final amount of bytes requested and allocated, along with the
total amount allocated and requested, as well as the max
allocation and requested during the run. It reports the amount of
wasted bytes (allocated - requested) that was not freed, as well
as the max wasted amount during the run. The list is sorted by
descending order of wasted bytes after the run.
