I'm not sure you can. I believe people have tried to run user mode
linux under valgrind which might let you do what you want, but I have
no idea what the current status of that is and whether it works at
the moment or not.

Some kernel developers have also pulled out kernel code into user-space harnesses in order use Valgrind. But you can't run Valgrind on the kernel directly. Nick |
