The following series of patches implement a basic framework for hypervisor-assisted dump. The very first patch provides documentation explaining what this is :-) . Yes, its supposed to be an improvement over kdump.
A list of open issues / todo list is included in the documentation. It also appears that the not-yet-released firmware versions this was tested on are still, ahem, incomplete; this work is also pending. I have included most of the changes requested. Although, I did find one or two, fixed in a later patch file rather than the first location they appeared at. -- Manish & Linas. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
