+Description:
+
+In kmemtrace-enabled kernels, the following files are created:
+
+/sys/kernel/debug/kmemtrace/
+	cpu<n>		(0400)	Per-CPU tracing data, see below. (binary)
+	total_overruns	(0400)	Total number of bytes which were dropped from
+				cpu<n> files because of full buffer condition,
+				non-binary. (text)
+	abi_version	(0400)	Kernel's kmemtrace ABI version. (text)
+
+Each per-CPU file should be read according to the relay interface. That is,
+the reader should set affinity to that specific CPU and, as currently done by
+the userspace application (though there are other methods), use poll() with
+an infinite timeout before every read(). Otherwise, erroneous data may be
+read. The binary data has the following _core_ format:
+
+	Event ID	(1 byte)	Unsigned integer, one of:
+		0 - represents an allocation (KMEMTRACE_EVENT_ALLOC)
+		1 - represents a freeing of previously allocated memory
+		    (KMEMTRACE_EVENT_FREE)
+	Type ID		(1 byte)	Unsigned integer, one of:
+		0 - this is a kmalloc() / kfree()
+		1 - this is a kmem_cache_alloc() / kmem_cache_free()
+		2 - this is a __get_free_pages() et al.
+	Event size	(2 bytes)	Unsigned integer representing the
+					size of this event. Used to extend
+					kmemtrace. Discard the bytes you
+					don't know about.
+	Sequence number	(4 bytes)	Signed integer used to reorder data
+					logged on SMP machines. Wraparound
+					must be taken into account, although
+					it is unlikely.
+	Caller address	(8 bytes)	Return address to the caller.
+	Pointer to mem	(8 bytes)	Pointer to target memory area. Can be
+					NULL, but not all such calls might be
+					recorded.
+
+In case of KMEMTRACE_EVENT_ALLOC events, the next fields follow:
+
+	Requested bytes	(8 bytes)	Total number of requested bytes,
+					unsigned, must not be zero.
+	Allocated bytes (8 bytes)	Total number of actually allocated
+					bytes, unsigned, must not be lower
+					than requested bytes.
+	Requested flags	(4 bytes)	GFP flags supplied by the caller.
+	Target CPU	(4 bytes)	Signed integer, valid for event id 1.
+					If equal to -1, target CPU is the same
+					as origin CPU, but the reverse might
+					not be true.
+
+The data is made available in the same endianness the machine has.
+
+Other event ids and type ids may be defined and added. Other fields may be
+added by increasing event size, but see below for details.
+Every modification to the ABI, including new id definitions, are followed
+by bumping the ABI version by one.
+
+Adding new data to the packet (features) is done at the end of the mandatory
+data:
+	Feature size	(2 byte)
+	Feature ID	(1 byte)
+	Feature data	(Feature size - 3 bytes)

+			kmemtrace - Kernel Memory Tracer
+
+			  by Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu
+			     <eduard.munteanu@linux360.ro>
+
+I. Introduction
+===============
+
+kmemtrace helps kernel developers figure out two things:
+1) how different allocators (SLAB, SLUB etc.) perform
+2) how kernel code allocates memory and how much
+
+To do this, we trace every allocation and export information to the userspace
+through the relay interface. We export things such as the number of requested
+bytes, the number of bytes actually allocated (i.e. including internal
+fragmentation), whether this is a slab allocation or a plain kmalloc() and so
+on.
+
+The actual analysis is performed by a userspace tool (see section III for
+details on where to get it from). It logs the data exported by the kernel,
+processes it and (as of writing this) can provide the following information:
+- the total amount of memory allocated and fragmentation per call-site
+- the amount of memory allocated and fragmentation per allocation
+- total memory allocated and fragmentation in the collected dataset
+- number of cross-CPU allocation and frees (makes sense in NUMA environments)
+
+Moreover, it can potentially find inconsistent and erroneous behavior in
+kernel code, such as using slab free functions on kmalloc'ed memory or
+allocating less memory than requested (but not truly failed allocations).
+
+kmemtrace also makes provisions for tracing on some arch and analysing the
+data on another.
+
+II. Design and goals
+====================
+
+kmemtrace was designed to handle rather large amounts of data. Thus, it uses
+the relay interface to export whatever is logged to userspace, which then
+stores it. Analysis and reporting is done asynchronously, that is, after the
+data is collected and stored. By design, it allows one to log and analyse
+on different machines and different arches.
+
+As of writing this, the ABI is not considered stable, though it might not
+change much. However, no guarantees are made about compatibility yet. When
+deemed stable, the ABI should still allow easy extension while maintaining
+backward compatibility. This is described further in Documentation/ABI.
+
+Summary of design goals:
+	- allow logging and analysis to be done across different machines
+	- be fast and anticipate usage in high-load environments (*)
+	- be reasonably extensible
+	- make it possible for GNU/Linux distributions to have kmemtrace
+	included in their repositories
+
+(*) - one of the reasons Pekka Enberg's original userspace data analysis
+    tool's code was rewritten from Perl to C (although this is more than a
+    simple conversion)
+
+
+III. Quick usage guide
+======================
+
+1) Get a kernel that supports kmemtrace and build it accordingly (i.e. enable
+CONFIG_KMEMTRACE).
+
+2) Get the userspace tool and build it:
+$ git-clone git://repo.or.cz/kmemtrace-user.git		# current repository
+$ cd kmemtrace-user/
+$ ./autogen.sh
+$ ./configure
+$ make
+
+3) Boot the kmemtrace-enabled kernel if you haven't, preferably in the
+'single' runlevel (so that relay buffers don't fill up easily), and run
+kmemtrace:
+# '$' does not mean user, but root here.
+$ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
+$ mount -t proc none /proc
+$ cd path/to/kmemtrace-user/
+$ ./kmemtraced
+Wait a bit, then stop it with CTRL+C.
+$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemtrace/total_overruns	# Check if we didn't
+							# overrun, should
+							# be zero.
+$ (Optionally) [Run kmemtrace_check separately on each cpu[0-9]*.out file to
+		check its correctness]
+$ ./kmemtrace-report
+
+Now you should have a nice and short summary of how the allocator performs.
+
+IV. FAQ and known issues
+========================
+
+Q: 'cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemtrace/total_overruns' is non-zero, how do I fix
+this? Should I worry?
+A: If it's non-zero, this affects kmemtrace's accuracy, depending on how
+large the number is. You can fix it by supplying a higher
+'kmemtrace.subbufs=N' kernel parameter.
+---
+
+Q: kmemtrace_check reports errors, how do I fix this? Should I worry?
+A: This is a bug and should be reported. It can occur for a variety of
+reasons:
+	- possible bugs in relay code
+	- possible misuse of relay by kmemtrace
+	- timestamps being collected unorderly
+Or you may fix it yourself and send us a patch.
+---
+
+Q: kmemtrace_report shows many errors, how do I fix this? Should I worry?
+A: This is a known issue and I'm working on it. These might be true errors
+in kernel code, which may have inconsistent behavior (e.g. allocating memory
+with kmem_cache_alloc() and freeing it with kfree()). Pekka Enberg pointed
+out this behavior may work with SLAB, but may fail with other allocators.
+
+It may also be due to lack of tracing in some unusual allocator functions.
+
+We don't want bug reports regarding this issue yet.
