In this presentation Peter Griffin will review the different ways in which GDB can be used to debug the Linux kernel. In particular the talk will focus on the ways in which GDB can be made to have better "Linux awareness” to improve the kernel debugging experience.

The presentation will look at how ‘Linux awareness’ can be implemented using the GDB python interface, as a C code extension to GDB, or using gdbremote protocol, and the advantages / disadvantages of these different approaches.

The talk aims to raise awareness of what is already possible today using open source tools, and to also gather feedback on how best to upstream even better Linux awareness in the future.
