Abstract
The existence of errors and bugs in device drivers and other software operating in kernel space may be difficult to find and eliminate. A system and method for debugging computer programs may involve the use of several different modules. Running in the kernel space is an event monitor. Running in the user space is an event collector, an event player, and a concurrency error detector. This setup allows one to debug device driver software and other software that executes in kernel space using existing user space error detectors.
