For linux, there's this excellent series of articles by Eli Bendersky:

https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/01/27/how-debuggers-work-...

https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/02/07/how-debuggers-work-...

(Unfortunately, the articles don't include links to their respective follow-ups, but I'm pretty sure it ends after part 3...)

Thanks for the nudge - I've added links to other posts in the series in each one (there are only 3 - you found them all!)
