Oracle OLED Wants To Help Improve The Debugability Of The Linux Kernel


Oracle today announced the Oracle Linux Enhanced Diagnostics (OLED) as their newest project that aims to enhance the debugability of the Linux kernel.

For instance, we’ve seen issues where a lot of processes were stuck in the uninterruptible (D) state for a long time, driving up the load average and leading to device timeouts or soft lockups. Oracle is planning more improvements around OLED as well as the Performance Co-Pilot and Drgn projects to help enhance Linux debugging.
