[PATCH v6 tip 8/8] samples: bpf: kmem_alloc/free tracker

From: Alexei Starovoitov
Date: Wed Mar 11 2015 - 00:19:42 EST


One bpf program attaches to kmem_cache_alloc_node() and remembers all allocated
objects in the map.
Another program attaches to kmem_cache_free() and deletes corresponding
object from the map.

User space walks the map every second and prints any objects which are
older than 1 second.

Usage:
$ sudo tracex4

Then start few long living processes. The tracex4 will print:

obj 0xffff880465928000 is 13sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
obj 0xffff88043181c280 is 13sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
obj 0xffff880465848000 is 8sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
obj 0xffff8804338bc280 is 15sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32

$ addr2line -fispe vmlinux ffffffff8105dc32
do_fork at fork.c:1665

As soon as processes exit the memory is reclaimed and tracex4 prints nothing.

Similar experiment can be done with __kmalloc/kfree pair.
