[PATCH v2 rcu-dev] rcuperf: Measure memory footprint during kfree_rcu() test

From: Joel Fernandes (Google)
Date: Thu Dec 19 2019 - 11:22:49 EST


During changes to kfree_rcu() code, we often check how much is free
memory. Instead of doing so manually, add a measurement in the test
itself. We measure 4 times during the test for available memory and
compare with the beginning.

A sample run shows something like:

Total time taken by all kfree'ers: 6369738407 ns, loops: 10000, batches: 764, memory footprint: 216MB
