printk upon memory allocation


Hello,

I'm working with vanilla 2.6.27.35 and a toolchain built with crosstool-ng.

I suspect that the user space application running is doing memory allocation not only in the initialization phase.

When application is calling to new\alloc\delete is the kernel involve ?
I want to call a "printk" whenever an allocation\deallocation is run.

Where should I put this printk ?

Thanks,
Zvika.

Maybe put it in the beginning of the allocating function...

The application of user space use print to print out information. The printk is used in kernel space only.
