Identifying Where The Illegal Instruction Is

I am debugging an application which generates illegal instruction error for unknown reason and under unknown conditions. Some one pointed me to a web page for root causing it. Here is how:

1. Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_USER feature in the kernel.

2. Set the kernel variable user_debug to 1 (only bit 0 matters in debugging this problem).

3. Do the test.

One thing not so important here, lxr seems to have trouble location user_debug in the kernel source tree it has cross-referenced. But it ought to.

How to Force Subclipse to Use English

Subclipse detects the system locale and uses the language matching the system locale that I am not familiar with when I am working. I found this can be solved with this article, the solution I took was to add two lines at the begining of eclipse.ini:

-nl
en_us

which forces the locale to be English, United States. After restart, it works after refreshing the menus of subclipse.
