Then you can trace each kernel function with ftrace. Articles on ftrace:- http://lwn.net/Articles/365835/ http://lwn.net/Articles/366796/ With kdump you get memory dump of currently running kernel and then you debug it. kdb will help you to debug the currently running kernel. I hope this clears some of your doubts.
