You missed s390.

You are right.

Randy, should I send a v2 of this patch, or is it already applied?
Another option would be to send a separate patch adding s390,
on top of my previous patch.

thanks,
Daniel.

Hi,

With some minor modifications, I was able to run kmemleak in MIPS platform.
Kmemleak output and Patch are available in this link:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/28/483

Should we include that information in the Documentation ?

Warm Regards,
Maxin B. John

Sure, but first lets consolidate the patch for MIPS support.

Your patch is still in my patch queue, so please send me a full replacement
patch for it.
