10.8. Analysis Targets

Table 10-9 shows targets that are good for trying to find problem code in the kernel. It's a good idea to create a stack space list when creating new code to determine that your changes are not taking up too much kernel stack space. The namespacecheck target is useful for determining whether your changes can safely add its symbols to the kernel's global namespace.

Table 10-9. Analysis targets

Target	Description
checkstack	Generate a list of the functions that use the most of the kernel stack space.
namespacecheck	Generate a list of all of the kernel symbols and their namespaces. This will be a large list.
