What you'll learn
- Linux Kernel Debugging Techniques
Requirements
- Should have knowledge in Linux Kernel
Description
A traditional debugger allows you to inspect the system state once the system is halted
i.e., after an error has been detected, but doesn’t reveal the events leading to the error.
To understand why an event took place, the relevant context has to be restored. This requires tracing
Tracing is the process of collecting information on the activity in a working system
With tracing, program execution is recorded during run-time, allowing for later analysis of the trace
Tracing provides developers with information useful for debugging.
In this course, we will be learning ftrace, which is the official tracer of Linux Kernel in deep
What can we do using ftrace?
-----------------------------
Debugging Linux Kernel
Analyzing Latencies in Linux Kernel
Learn and observe the flow of Linux Kernel
Trace context switches
Length of the time the interrupts are disabled
And many more
Who this course is for:
- Kernel developers interested to learn various debugging techniques

I have been working on Linux for more than 7 years. I have seen many people still lack their skills on Linux. So, i am working on courses for Linux which will make them Learn Linux in an easy way. The agenda of my courses will be more practical and less theoretical. Show more examples and you will easily grab the concepts.
