Hi ,
What are the mandatory tools that must be run to identify potential
bugs ( say memory , locking etc )
in a linux device driver ?
Turning on DEBUG_SLAB might be a good option.
Have a look for all available options

Hi all,
About a month ago I've made a question in the ML regarding the contents of
the CR3 register and how the value of this register change when different
processes/threads are executed.
One of the conclusions of the conversation we had was that when kernel
threads are executed, the CR3

Dear All,
With another day of effort I am was able to set up the KGDB with
target C1 to host C2. The only change I did was changed my host from FC6 to
FC12. Now both my target and host are FC12.

Hi,
Is there a kernel module that sanitizes (overwrites) freed memory ? Or
maybe does sysctl offer something like this ?

What's wrong with the kernel option that does this for you
(CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB)? No need to write a separate
This way, GRUB doesn't need to know how to decode ELF
files and the job is left to the kernel code.
GRUB has a elf decoder, but it should have multiboot header.

Hope this answers your doubt.
