There is an example from http://relayfs.sourceforge.net/examples.html that uses relayfs to track memory allocation in kernel space. If you want to track memory leak in user space, you can get many information from /proc. If you want to analyse memory consumption per process, you can access some entries under /proc/$PID as statm, status and smaps. Type 'man proc' on your terminal to get more information about proc.
