kexec developers should provide a simple kexec_dump() routine that anybody can call. All the complexity that is in your patch to KDB has to be replicated and maintained for every debugger that wants to cause a dump. This is wrong, the code should be in one place and maintained by the kexec people. --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.
