“Linux Kernel Crash Book”, by Igor Ljubuncic, starts with crash tools via collection all the way to analysis, plus some extras and general tips. Linux kernel crash analysis is not an everyday topic. It is very likely a niche topic, which will interest only system administrators and professionals dabbling in the kernel.
