Inspecting and Optimizing Memory Usage in Linux

Explore RAM management in the Linux kernel through this 40-minute conference talk by João Marcos Costa from Bootlin. Gain insights into memory allocation across different areas and purposes, focusing on scenarios with limited hardware resources. Discover essential metrics and tools for identifying components that excessively allocate resources, and learn strategies to optimize memory usage without compromising functionality. Delve into kernel space perspective, examining memory components reserved during early boot. Analyze user space memory consumption, understanding how processes utilize memory both individually and collectively. Equip yourself with knowledge to effectively inspect and optimize memory usage in resource-constrained Linux environments.
