You cannot debug into kernel mode unless the kernel allows you to. No sane 
kernel allows a normal debug operation to do that -- especially because that 
would halt the kernel itself. 
 
As for debugging into the system libraries, the solution is quite simple: rebuild 
them yourself with debugging symbols. KDevelop cannot possibly contain the 
debugging symbols for the libraries that are already installed in your system -- 
only you or your distributor can. Of course, debugging into those libraries requires 
having their source code installed as well, but if you've rebuilt them, it's not a 
problem. 
 
I sincerely hope we've misunderstood your request and that you're not asking for 
KDevelop to include the source code and debugging versions of all system 
libraries. One does not have to debug into printf(3) or open(2) to know what they 
do.
