From c8d126275a5fa59394fe17109bdb9812fed296b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Popov Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2018 01:17:01 +0300 Subject: fs/proc: Show STACKLEAK metrics in the /proc file system Introduce CONFIG_STACKLEAK_METRICS providing STACKLEAK information about tasks via the /proc file system. In particular, /proc//stack_depth shows the maximum kernel stack consumption for the current and previous syscalls. Although this information is not precise, it can be useful for estimating the STACKLEAK performance impact for your workloads.
