Summary

This chapter introduced a number of kernel debugging tips, and explained how to use Ftrace to trace the code in order to identify strange behavior, such as time-consuming functions and irq latencies. We covered the printing of APIs, either for core- or device driver-related code. Finally, we learned how to analyze and debug kernel oops.

This chapter marks the end of this book and I hope you have enjoyed the journey through this book while reading it as much as I did while writing it. I also hope that my best efforts in imparting my knowledge throughout this book will prove useful to you.
