In May 2006, netchild@ committed some changes to kdump to enhance the decoding of various syscall arguments. Using the example from the commit message: Change kdump to print more useful information, i.e. it changes from 32229 telnet CALL mmap(0,0x8000,0x3,0x1002,0xffffffff,0,0,0) 32229 telnet CALL open(0x2807bc28,0,0x1b6) 32229 telnet CALL socket(0x2,0x2,0) to 32229 telnet CALL mmap(0,0x8000,PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON,0xffffffff,0,0,0) 32229 telnet CALL open(0x2807bc28,O_RDONLY,<unused>0x1b6) 32229 telnet CALL socket(PF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0)
Would this change be eligible for an MFC to 6.x? It makes reading kdump output much easier. The only downside is that it might break scripts that people might use to postprocess kdump output. -- Peter Jeremy
