From 666bfddbe8b8fd4fd44617d6c55193d5ac7edb29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 14:58:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kdump: Access dump file in elf format (/proc/vmcore) From: "Vivek Goyal" o Support for /proc/vmcore interface. This interface exports elf core image either in ELF32 or ELF64 format, depending on the format in which elf headers have been stored by crashed kernel. o Added support for CONFIG_VMCORE config option. o Removed the dependency on /proc/kcore. From: "Eric W. Biederman" This patch has been refactored to more closely match the prevailing style in the affected files. And to clearly indicate the dependency between /proc/kcore and proc/vmcore.c From: Hariprasad Nellitheertha This patch contains the code that provides an ELF format interface to the previous kernel's memory post kexec reboot.
