Re: Help debugging linux-next.

git bisect would be a choice. Seems your issue is around i915, that is related to intel graphics, isolate commits in this area would be another way On Sun, Sep 13, 2015 at 2:09 PM, Lucas Tanure wrote: > Hi, > > I would like some tips about how debug a issue with linux-next. >

Re: module debugging

IMO, I believe if you module is using/hanging all processors it's impossible to kernel use any to print stuffs. What about try Sysrq [1] ? I used it once in a power system plus xmon, but I'll be honest not sure how it works on x86. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysrq.txt On Fri, Aug

Re: Safety in Kernel Development

For memory leaks kernel has a clever mechanism to verify it that you can enable in .config for use [1]. You can also uses Sparse in kernel for static analyze purpose. There are others out there such as coverity scan, coccinelle, etc. [1] https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kmemleak.txt

Sorry, silly question, but did you try as root? kexec load tries to put the knew kernel on memory and after that tries a syscall to kexec_load to finish with a kexec_reboot, since it handles with mem and syscalls maybe just as a root you will run it properly Also have that

Re: Will kernel in-place decompression overwrite uncompressed part ?

I don't know if it can help you, but let's try. [1] What I understand about that is. The compressed kernel is in fact a bzImage or some zImage kernel, and it is a file. As the link says in that compressed file we have this header that makes some early configurations. The kernel is uncompressed
