2016-06-03kdump: fix dmesg gdbmacro to work with record based printkCorey Minyard
Commit 7ff9554bb578 ("printk: convert byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer") introduced a record based printk buffer. Modify gdbmacros.txt to parse this new structure so dmesg will work properly.

2016-05-23kdump: fix gdb macros work work with newer and 64-bit kernelsCorey Minyard
Lots of little changes needed to be made to clean these up, remove the four byte pointer assumption and traverse the pid queue properly. Also consolidate the traceback code into a single function instead of having three copies of it.

In a testament to the utter simplicity and logic of the English language ;-), I found a single correct use - in kernel/panic.c - and 10-15 incorrect ones. Signed-Off-By: Lee Revell <rlrevell@joe-job.com> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>

2005-06-25[PATCH] kdump: Documentation for KdumpVivek Goyal
This patch contains the documentation for the kexec based crash dump tool. Quick kdump-howto ================================================================ 1) Download and build kexec-tools. 2) Download and build the latest kexec/kdump (-mm) kernel patchset. Two kernels need to be built in order to get this feature working. A) First kernel: a) Enable "kexec system call" feature: CONFIG_KEXEC=y b) Physical load address (use default): CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x100000 c) Enable "sysfs file system support": CONFIG_SYSFS=y d) Boot into first kernel with the command line parameter "crashkernel=Y@X": For example: "crashkernel=64M@16M". B) Second kernel: a) Enable "kernel crash dumps" feature: CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y b) Physical load addreess, use same load address as X in "crashkernel" kernel parameter in d) above, e.g., 16 MB or 0x1000000. CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x1000000 c) Enable "/proc/vmcore support" (Optional, in Pseudo filesystems). CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE=y 3) Boot into the first kernel. 4) Load the second kernel to be booted using: kexec -p <second-kernel> --crash-dump --args-linux --append="root=<root-dev> maxcpus=1 init 1" 5) System reboots into the second kernel when a panic occurs. A module can be written to force the panic, for testing purposes. 6) See Documentation/kdump.txt for how to read the first kernel's memory image and how to analyze it.
