I read contents/ index/ pages at random and then sequentially the first
two-hundred ninety-two pages of the German-flavoured English (e.g.
"smaller than zero") of "Linux Kernel Internals" and then I saw:

gdb /usr/src/linux/vmlinux /proc/kcore

... "all the structures in the kernel to be read, but no local variables
[also] not possible to change values or call kernel functions ..."

Also I saw:

- CFLAGS= -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
+ CFLAGS= -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -g

CFLAGS -g I find in linux-2.6.0-test9/Makefile near CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO.

grep CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO `find . -name 'Kconfig'`
then flunks, but that question I can pursue in ?l=kernelnewbies.
