Abstract

A technique that supports improved debugging of kernel loadable modules (KLMs) that involves allocating a first portion of a memory and detecting a first kernel loadable module (KLM) requesting an allocation of at least a portion of the memory. The first KLM is then loaded into the first portion of the memory and a first identifier is associated with the first KLM and the first portion. The access of a second portion of the memory by the first KLM, the second portion being distinct from the first portion is detected and an indication that the first KLM has accessed the second portion is generated.
