Linux Kernel Debugging - Part 1
This session will provide an overview of approaches to Linux kernel debugging as well as look in depth at a couple selected approaches.
This session will include:
1. Overview: printk, configuring kernel, kdump/crash, GDB with /proc/kcore, KGDB, debugfs, procfs, sysfs
2. Usage and examples of printk(), log levels
3. Configuring the kernel for debugging:
- kernel hacking choices (__must_check, lockups, mutex/lock checks, etc.)
- other DEBUG configuration macros
4. kdump and crash
A subsequent session will cover other kernel debugging approaches.

Steven W.This was a good presentation about tools for debugging the Linux Kernel. Although the talk was aimed at kernel and/or device driver developers, experience with gdb would allow one to follow almost all of the talk.

Alison ChaikenThe pace was just right for me: I followed along without confusion but learned several new tricks. The length of the meeting was just about right.
-
Akkana PeckA good practical introduction to kernel debugging, complete with demos, code samples and advice.
