Course Title: Debugging Linux Kernel in Deep - Part 2
Course Headline: KGDB, KDB, GDB Mastery for Advanced Debugging
Embark on a journey to the heart of Linux kernel debugging with our comprehensive course designed to empower you with the skills to navigate and troubleshoot the most complex systems. 🌟
Understanding the Basics: User space processes, from scripts to applications, can be debugged using gdb – a powerful tool for single-stepping, stopping, resuming, setting breakpoints, inspecting memory and variables, and examining call stack information. But what if you could extend this capability to debug a running Linux kernel? 🤔
The Challenge: Traditionally, gdb operates in user space. So, how do you debug a running Linux kernel, which is not just a user space process but the core of the operating system itself? 🤯
The Breakthrough: Enter KGDB (Kernel GDB), a client/server architecture that allows gdb to interact with the running Linux kernel. This revolutionary approach enables remote debugging, where you can use gdb on your host or development machine to inspect and modify the kernel's behavior as it runs on the target machine through gdbserver. 🛠️
Course Highlights:
-
Setting Up KGDB: Dive into the initial steps of integrating KGDB with your Linux kernel to begin the debugging process.
-
Remote Debugging Techniques: Explore various methods for getting your target system's kernel into a state where it can be debugged by gdb on your development machine.
-
Breakpoints & Variables: Learn how to set breakpoints, print and set variables, and navigate through the Linux kernel's call stack with precision.
-
Single Serial Port Usage: Discover how to use a single serial port for both kgdb communication and console messages for a seamless debugging experience.
-
Kernel Messages in gdb Window: Get tips on how to ensure kernel messages are visible within the gdb window, enhancing your debugging capabilities.
-
Debugging Linux Kernel Modules: Understand the process of debugging both in-tree and out-of-tree modules, ensuring you can tackle any issue within the kernel space.
-
GDB Scripts Integration: Utilize the GDB scripts that come with the Linux kernel to streamline your debugging workflow and automate repetitive tasks.
By the end of this course, you'll have a deep understanding of how to effectively use KGDB and KDB alongside gdb, transforming your ability to debug the Linux kernel. 🎓
