Module 8
Advanced Kernel Debugging & Tracing
1
Mastering Kernel Tracing: Dynamic Debug & printk
Use dynamic debug and printk log levels effectively to trace issues across kernel subsystems.
2
Debugging the Linux Kernel with KGDB/KDB
Configure a target environment and use KGDB/KDB to set breakpoints and inspect a live kernel.
3
Configuring Kdump for Kernel Crash Dumps
Configure the kdump service to capture a kernel crash dump upon a panic.
4
Kernel Crash Dump Analysis with 'crash' Utility
Analyze a kernel crash dump using the 'crash' utility to perform a post-mortem root cause analysis.
5
Debugging Kernels with QEMU and GDB
Debug guest kernel code using QEMU's GDB stub to step through virtualized kernel execution.
Detecting Memory Corruption with KASAN
Use the Kernel Memory Sanitizer (KASAN) to detect memory corruption bugs like use-after-free.
7
Detecting Kernel Memory Leaks with kmemleak
Use the kmemleak tool to detect and analyze kernel memory leaks.
