I tried to debug a running process. I am taking firefox as an example. So I wanted to see it in detail as how is Linux kernel communicating with it. Here is my output such as which kernel symbol is used in this process what other macros it is using any thing from kernel that is affecting it like that things that I can look in it using gdb. I am doing it for learning purpose. Can any one suggest some thing meaningful?
