From: Neil Horman Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2009 23:58:57 +0000 (-0700) Subject: kexec: add dmesg log symbols to /proc/vmcoreinfo lists X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=04d491ab2a53008a1aa98ac09561768c7f3adda3;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git kexec: add dmesg log symbols to /proc/vmcoreinfo lists It would be nice to be able to extract the dmesg log from a vmcore file without needing to keep the debug symbols for the running kernel handy all the time. We have a facility to do this in /proc/vmcore. This patch adds the log_buf and log_end symbols to the vmcoreinfo area so that tools (like makedumpfile) can easily extract the dmesg logs from a vmcore image.
