> Is that possible to check memory leak in vxworks os by valgrind tool?   As I understand it, valgrind can check user space application on linux or other os, it can’t check the linux os/kernel itself.

About 9 years ago there was an independent project to make memcheck work
for checking User Mode Linux.  The project succeeded in "booting" UML
and getting to a "login: " prompt on a terminal console.  But the work
was too hard; the project was abandoned.  Even User Mode Linux made
too many assumptions about its environment that were too different
from memcheck's usual user mode (non-privileged) environment.
Dan Kegel of Google provided funding; I did the work.
