I am working on memory optimization for my process and trying to map the allocated mallocs (tracked through sigwinch) with the USS memory(libc_malloc) Problem is: USS lists showing pretty large allocations than what allocation has been called from libc through malloc.(not using mmap).
My question is:
1. How can i see where malloc size is converting to size shown in libc_malloc). at least the logical explanation that comes near to what i am seeing. At present there is huge gap.
- Is there any gap in my understanding?? since there is huge gap in USS and actually allocated memory. will appreciate if you can give any references.
