Abstract
This paper describes what it means for a kernel to be debuggable and proposes a kernel design with debuggability in mind. We evaluate the proposed kernel design by comparing the iterations required in cyclic debugging for different classes of bugs in a vanilla monolithic kernel to a variant enhanced with our design rules for debuggability. We discuss the trade offs involved in designing a debuggable kernel.
