vmcoreinfo: fix the configuration dependencies

2008-02-07T16:42:25Z

This patch fixes the configuration dependencies in the vmcoreinfo data. i386's "node_data" is defined in arch/x86/mm/discontig_32.c, and x86_64's one is defined in arch/x86/mm/numa_64.c. They depend on CONFIG_NUMA: arch/x86/mm/Makefile_32:7 obj-$(CONFIG_NUMA) += discontig_32.o arch/x86/mm/Makefile_64:7 obj-$(CONFIG_NUMA) += numa_64.o ia64's "pgdat_list" is defined in arch/ia64/mm/discontig.c, and it depends on CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM and CONFIG_SPARSEMEM: arch/ia64/mm/Makefile:9-10 obj-$(CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM) += discontig.o obj-$(CONFIG_SPARSEMEM) += discontig.o ia64's "node_memblk" is defined in arch/ia64/mm/numa.c, and it depends on CONFIG_NUMA: arch/ia64/mm/Makefile:8 obj-$(CONFIG_NUMA) += numa.o Signed-off-by: Ken'ichi Ohmichi Acked-by: Simon Horman Cc: David Rientjes Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vmcoreinfo: rename vmcoreinfo's macros returning the size

2008-02-07T16:42:25Z

This patchset is for the vmcoreinfo data. The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile. This patch: VMCOREINFO_SIZE() should be renamed VMCOREINFO_STRUCT_SIZE() since it's always returning the size of the struct with a given name. This change would allow VMCOREINFO_TYPEDEF_SIZE() to simply become VMCOREINFO_SIZE() since it need not be used exclusively for typedefs.

add-vmcore: add a prefix "VMCOREINFO_" to the vmcoreinfo macros

2007-10-17T15:42:54Z

Add a prefix "VMCOREINFO_" to the vmcoreinfo macros. Old vmcoreinfo macros were defined as generic names SYMBOL/SIZE/OFFSET /LENGTH/CONFIG, and it is impossible to grep for them. So these names should be changed.

Add vmcoreinfo

2007-10-17T15:42:54Z

This patch set frees the restriction that makedumpfile users should install a vmlinux file (including the debugging information) into each system. makedumpfile command is the dump filtering feature for kdump. It creates a small dumpfile by filtering unnecessary pages for the analysis. To distinguish unnecessary pages, it needs a vmlinux file including the debugging information. These days, the debugging package becomes a huge file, and it is hard to install it into each system. To solve the problem, kdump developers discussed it at lkml and kexec-ml. As the result, we reached the conclusion that necessary information for dump filtering (called "vmcoreinfo") should be embedded into the first kernel file and it should be accessed through /proc/vmcore during the second kernel. (http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.0/1806.html) Dan Aloni created the patch set for the above implementation. (http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.1/1053.html) And I updated it for multi architectures and memory models.

[IA64] Remove vector from ia64_machine_kexec()

2007-10-12T22:21:20Z

The use of vector in ia64_machine_kexec() seems spurious, and removing it simplifies the code slightly. As suggested by Alex Williamson Cc: Alex Williamson Signed-off-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

[IA64] Fix NULL-pointer dereference in ia64_machine_kexec()

2007-02-05T22:06:44Z

This patch fixes a NULL-pointer dereference in ia64_machine_kexec(). The variable ia64_kimage is set in machine_kexec_prepare() which is called from sys_kexec_load(). If kdump wasn't configured before, ia64_kimage is NULL. machine_kdump_on_init() passes ia64_kimage() to machine_kexec() which assumes a valid value. The patch also adds a few sanity checks for the image to simplify debugging of similar problems in future. Signed-off-by: Bernhard Walle Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

[IA64] kexec: Move machine_shutdown from machine_kexec.c to process.c

2007-02-05T21:49:10Z

This moves the ia64 implementation of machine_shutdown() from machine_kexec.c to process.c, which is in keeping with the implelmentation on other architectures, and seems like a much more appropriate home for it. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: Tony Luck
