Subject: [9fans] A trace of poolalloc in-kernel
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 9df3f52c-ead5-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hi,

I've gotten and graphed a quick trace of all requests in-kernel to poolalloc
during a session with my terminal, where I booted up, created a few
windows, built a kernel, and shutdown.

http://grex.org/~vsrinivas/p9malloc-traces/
(There's even some eye-candy!)

Quick summary: 50% of all requests to poolalloc in kernel during this session
were under 50 bytes. Sadness.

Hopefully this is of some interest.
