If kmemleak is enabled, it uses a kmem cache for its own objects. These objects are used to hold information kmemleak uses, including a stack trace. If slub_debug is also turned on, each of them has *another* stack trace, so the overhead adds up, and on my tests (on ARCH=um, admittedly) 2/3rds of the allocations end up being doing the stack tracing. Turn off SLAB_STORE_USER if SLAB_NOLEAKTRACE was given, to avoid storing the essentially same data twice.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
