TRACE-CMD-MEM(1) [FIXME: manual] TRACE-CMD-MEM(1)NAMEtrace-cmd-mem - show memory usage of certain kmem events
SYNOPSIS
trace-cmd mem [OPTIONS][input-file]
DESCRIPTION
The trace-cmd(1) mem requires a trace-cmd record that enabled the
following events:
kmalloc
kmalloc_node
kfree
kmem_cache_alloc
kmem_cache_alloc_node
kmem_cache_alloc_free
It then reads the amount requested and the ammount freed as well as the
functions that called the allocation. It then reports the final amount
of bytes requested and allocated, along with the total amount allocated
and requested, as well as the max allocation and requested during the
run. It reports the amount of wasted bytes (allocated - requested) that
was not freed, as well as the max wasted amount during the run. The
list is sorted by descending order of wasted bytes after the run.

may also be specified as the last item on the command line.
