hi,
i am trying to trace the kmalloc, __get_free_pages calls made inside the kernel for memory allocation redirecting the calls via #define to __get_free_pages_dbg() and kmalloc_dbg(). The *_dbg functions get the additional parameters __FILE__ and __LINE__ and call functions which log this information in a file created in /proc. but this is not working properly for me. the file is being created in/proc but it is empty and not showing any logged info.
in fact in have tried to port a patch mon-diff-2.0.29.gz given in unofficial patches for linux version 2.0.29 to linux version 2.2.16. the 2.2 version uses slab allocator through caches. i feel that patch should work for 2.2 as it involves only redefinition of the calls
any help or suggestionsin this regard would be very useful
regards
sudhir
