trouble figuring this out.
At some point, malloc has to call the kernel to tell it to allocate more
memory for this user process, right? I can't figure out which function
malloc calls, or where in the code (line number) it's called.
I'm looking at glib-2.3.1 to try and find my answers. After all, that's
where malloc is defined, right?
TIA.

electric-fence detects illegal memory access (great for debugging)
ccmalloc is also a memory debugging library. It detects memory leaks and stuff like that.
Maybe after you checked this out you can rather work on improving these library's or extending them to do exactly what you want rather than reinventing the weel :-)
Good luck
