[$] DebugFS on Rust
Wednesday October 22, 2025. 03:37 PM , from LWN.net
DebugFS is the kernel's anything-goes, no-rules interface: whenever a kernel
developer needs quick access to internal details of the kernel to debug a problem, or to implement an experimental control interface, they can expose them via DebugFS. This is possible because DebugFS is not subject to the normal rules for user-space-interface stability, nor to the rules about exposing sensitive kernel information. Supporting DebugFS in Rust drivers is an important step toward being able to debug real drivers on real hardware. Matthew Maurer spoke at Kangrejos 2025 about his recently merged DebugFS bindings for Rust.
