I want to make a module that will analyze memory usage of different processes. my idea was to parse ps -eo pid,vsz,rss. But I was wondering if it is possible to make the kernel call my module on each memory allocation/deallocation. Is it possible in andriod x86?

    perhaps you're looking for advice on modifying the Linux kernel. In this case, you're better off on stackoverflow. However, do some initial research on modifying and recompiling the kernel -- and only then ask a specific question there. We already have some (closed) questions on how to get started with Kernel programming. Hope this helps. – Sebastian Dec 23 '17 at 16:57
