+# Existing
+
+We have debugging infrastructure. For example:
+
+ * [[GDB]]
+
+ * [[GNU Mach debugging|microkernel/mach/gnumach/debugging]]
+
+ * [[GNU Hurd debugging|hurd/debugging]], including
+ [[hurd/debugging/rpctrace]], and more.
+
+
+# To Do
+
+ * [[glibc]]'s sotruss
+
+ * [[ltrace]]
+
+ * [[latrace]]
+
+ * [[profiling]]
+
+ * *Checkpoint/restart allows the state of a set of processes to be saved to
+ persistent storage, then restarted at some future time* -- quoting from
+ Jonathan Corbet's [2010 Linux Kernel Summit
+ report](http://lwn.net/Articles/412749/).
+
+ This is surely a very useful facility to have for reproducing failures, for
+ example. But on the other hand it's questionable how it can help with
+ debugging failures in [[GNU Hurd server|hurd/translator]]s' interactions,
+ as their state is typically spread between several processes.
+
+ Continues: <http://lwn.net/Articles/414264/>, which introduces
+ <http://dmtcp.sourceforge.net/>.
+
+ * [[crash_server}}, [[GDB_gcore]],
+ <http://code.google.com/p/google-coredumper/>
+
+ * [[community/gsoc/project_ideas/libdiskfs_locking]]
+
+ * <http://lwn.net/Articles/415728/>, or <http://lwn.net/Articles/415471/> --
+ just two examples; there's a lot of such stuff for Linux.
