You’ll learn practical techniques for identifying live locks using kernel tracing, stack analysis, perf, ftrace, and lock debugging tools. We analyze soft lockups, RCU stalls, scheduler behavior, spinlocks, and atomic operations to pinpoint why the kernel keeps running but makes no forward progress. This session is ideal for engineers working on Linux kernel internals, device drivers, embedded systems, and production servers.
