Hi,
here is a minor update of the kexec/kdump patchset.
The changes since the last post are quite minimal.
* Forward port to xen-unstable-11059 from 10650
* Add powerpc stubs to 51.1-kexec-generic-upstream.patch
going to get messy as more architectures are added
The patches are currently:
1. 51.1-kexec-generic-upstream.patch
* Common code for all architectures,
the basic plumbing for kexec/kdump
2. 51.1.1-kexec-trigger_crash_dump.patch
* xen-console trigger crash_dump
* Depends on 1
3. 51.2.1-kexec-x86-upstream.patch
* Glue between 1, and 3 and 4.
This would not be needed for ppc or ia64, but
neither have been written yet.
We are planning to commence work on ia64 soon.
* Depends on 1
4. 51.2.1.1-kexec-x86_32-upstream.patch
* Kexec/kdump for x86_32
* Depends on 3 (and 1)
5. 51.2.31.2-kexec-x86_64-upstream.patch
* * Kexec/kdump for x86_64
* Depends on 3 (and 1)
Things that are being worked on:
* Porting kexec for ia64. This is going somewhat slower than
I had hoped. Partly because of my own schedule. And partly
because the Linux code is flakier than I previously thought.
If anyone cares, the problem that is currently bothering me
most about linux ia64 kexec is that you can usually kexec once,
but twice doesn't work.
e.g. linux --kexec--> linux: ok
linux --kexec--> linux --kexec fails--> linux: not ok
* Kdump for x86_64. My colleague Magnus is working on this.
But he is seeing a very strange problem where kdumping
into a bzimage works, while a vmlinux does not.
Please prod him if you want more details.
Things that would be good to work on:
* PPC port
