Title: Taming System Complexity: Demystifying Software Engineering Agents in Diagnosing Linux Kernel Faults

Abstract:
arXiv:2505.19489v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The Linux kernel is a critical system, serving as the foundation for numerous systems. Bugs in the Linux kernel can cause serious consequences, affecting billions of users. Fault localization (FL), which aims at identifying the buggy code elements in software, plays an essential role in software quality assurance. While recent LLM agents have achieved promising accuracy in FL on recent benchmarks like SWE-bench, it remains unclear how well thes
