I do not have thorough idea. But it seems there is no ready-made tool (userspace/kernelspace) to know the complete kernel memory. To debug certain memory related issues - we can refer the /proc/kallsyms (exact place where each symbol is loaded in memory) and /proc/slabinfo - the slab allocation for different objects. But considering the total kernel memory it also includes many other allocations which we do not do explicitly - like Page tables, or some kind of metadata. > > Regards, > Arun > -- Thanks, Nilesh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
