The point I was making here is that you do not need your own hooking mechanism. You can get the information directly by attaching to the tracepoint. > > static void my_callback(void *data, unsigned long call_site, > > const void *ptr, struct kmem_cache *s, > > size_t bytes_req, size_t bytes_alloc, > > gfp_t gfp_flags) > > { > > struct my_data_struct *my_data = data; > > > > { do whatever } > > } The "do whatever" is anything you want to do. Or is the data structure you create with this approach going to be too much overhead? How hard is it for a hash or binary search lookup? -- Steve
