[uml-devel] Valgrinding Linux kernel with UML

["derry shribman" <derrysh@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I have been using valgrind for quite a while, and found it to be very useful 
for my user-mode Linux programming.
I therefore tried getting valgrind to work on the Linux Kernel, with UML.

I did a few quick hacks:
- getting valgrind it to know UML's kmalloc/kfree and friends
- canceling the sanity check valgrind performs upon loading an image, in 
which it checks the image base address (since UML loads the kernel at a 
different virtual start address than regular applications start address).

Still - valgrind+UML crashed immediately.

Did anyone try out valgrind+UML?

Thanks,
Derry
