Chapter 6
Getting very geeky – application and kernel cores, kernel debugger
Abstract
In this chapter, we will continue our discussion on the GNU debugger. However, we will use it to analyze crash cores in an offline manner. Regarding crash cores, we will also learn how to configure a system to collect kernel crash cores, as well as analyze them in detail. Finally, we will use the kernel debugger to attach to the running kernel and make in-vivo changes to our system.
