[dpdk-dev] [RFC v2 0/2] malloc: support malloc and free tracking log

[Xueming Li <xuemingl@mellanox.com>]

DPDK uses second level memory allocation management, this makes
regular memory profiler tool not applicant. This patch trys to
provide a lightweight malloc and free logging, then show leaked
memory entries based on logs.

This tool only target to malloc and free tracking, for memzone
used by ring and mempool, "dump_memzone" in testpmd list them.

There will be another example that enable and dump tracking as
secondary process.

This tool came from Mellanox internal Hackathon, thanks Shahaf Shuler
<shahafs@mellanox.com> who provided the idea.

V0: initial version
V1: log rte_realloc function
    rename log size to req_size, real_size to size(total)
    log padding and include padding in total size
    rename log "free" field to "type", alloc_free to "paired"
    rename malloc_log_index to malloc_log_count
    split testpmd part into separate patch
    add rte_malloc_log_stop() function
    add log entry number check
    change log dump detail level from (-1,0,1) to (0,1,2)
V2: fix map file indent
    change type of counter variables to unsigned
    fix CI error
