Subject: Further results for kmalloc from linux-tracecalls
Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2005 14:31:41 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050124223141.18617.qmail@web53810.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
It was erroneously asserted by Horst von Brand that 'linux-tracecalls'
"can not find where a function could be called through a pointer"
On the contrary, almost all the chains are terminated with a callback function,
somewhat fewer with an init function, and fewest of all with a syscall.
Just for fun here is the first half of the (aggregated) list of all functions
terminating chains from our pruned results for kmalloc, marked with the number of
chains terminated by each of the 280 functions in this partial list:
(
COMMAND was
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/lnxtc.pl -file=include/linux/slab.h -func=kmalloc -nohtml=1 \
-prune='drivers/acpi,fs/xfs,kernel/sched.c,kernel/panic.c,mm/oom_kill.c' |
perl -00lane 'print $F[0]' |
sort |
uniq -c |
sort -rn |
median.pl
)
Total chains are 59228
Number of syscalls, callbacks, init functions, etc, terminating chains is 5873
Weighted median is "37 drivers/net/pcmcia/fmvj18x_cs.c::fmvj18x_event"
Mean is 10
