Diagnosing System Hangs and Crashes using lkcd and dprobes

This is an introductory workshop for those who are curious about how problems can be diagnosed off-line using tools such as dprobes and lkcd.

We will run through the basic set-up of these and similar tools and demonstrate how they are used. We will also cover some of the basic technical knowledge that underpins system debugging techniques. We expect to follow this with a more detailed lab-exercise-based debugging workshop next year.
