| You can actually run gdb on a live kernel like this:
gdb -k /dev/mem /path/to/kernel.debug
You can then use the 'proc' command to switch to a process (give it a
pid), and do a stack backtrace. That part only really works if the
process is blocked on something (i.e. not running).
But you can also dig around kernel globals and various data structures
and that can be quite useful on a live system.
