Is it possible to run Symbolic execution on Linux Kernel or parts of it? What about Concolic Testing? Thanks!

Yes.

You can use S2E [1] to analyze binaries in-vivo (within a full software stack). Symbolic execution is S2E's default mode but you can also do concolic testing without much effort.

Yes, please check S2E's documentation. – JC1 Jun 16 '14 at 13:44
I communicated with the S2E author. He said that 32-bit is not supported. Because Symbolic Execution is resource intensive whereas 32-bit OS is limiting. – user3564532 Jun 23 '14 at 09:40
Your reference just says "You need permission" now. – Benni Jan 23 '20 at 10:43
