Crash Core Analysis Suite
The crash core analysis suite utility is a
self-contained tool, loosely based on the SVR4 crash command,
but completely merged with gdb, thereby combining the
kernel-specific nature of crash with the
source level debugging capabilities of gdb. The utility can be used
to investigate:
The current set of available commands consist of common
kernel core analysis tools such as a
context-specific stack traces, source code disassembly,
kernel structure and variable displays, memory
display, dumps of linked-lists, etc. There are several
commands that delve deeper into specific kernel
subsystems, which also serve as templates for
developers to create new commands for analysis of
a specific area of interest. The intent is to make the
tool independent of Linux version dependencies,
building in recognition of major kernel code changes,
adapting to new kernel versions while maintaining
backwards compatibility.
For information regarding
prerequisites, invocation, and the command line interface to crash, check the
general usage section first. The crash executable has a
built-in set of man-like pages, which have also
been incorporated into this web page. For
command-specific information, click on the desired command
name in the crash help menu.
