If you are using pmap or using strace and want to covert kernel address to function name then you can use the following technique.

Separation Anxiety: A Tutorial for Isolating Your System with Linux Namespaces

This makes it possible to run a whole range of applications on a single real Linux machine and ensure no two of them can interfere with each other, without having to resort to using virtual machines. These tools have been a huge boon to PaaS providers. Continue reading

journalctl command to see kernel messages

2017-01-30 1 min read Fedora
Sometimes, there are just too many messages in journalctl output and it becomes a mystery game to search for the messages you are looking for. But luckily you do not need to use grep to find the right message. Here is example of what I had to do when I was looking for kernel messages. journalctl _TRANSPORT=kernel # To see all the fields, you can use the verbose mode journalctl _TRANSPORT=kernel -o verbose # And the filter on priority if needed to get the messages you need journalctl _TRANSPORT=kernel PRIORITY=4 # and follow journalctl _TRANSPORT=kernel PRIORITY=4 -f -l

There are couple of ways you can find the information on the <a class="zem_slink" title="Loadable kernel module" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loadable_kernel_module">loadable kernel modules. All these would always involve calling <a class="zem_slink" title="Lsmod" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lsmod">lsmod to get the loaded kernel modules and then calling modinfo to get the info on the loaded modules. I will show you with examples: $ lsmod Module Size Used by cdc_acm 19616 0 vfat 8744 9 fat 41836 1 vfat Continue reading
