Re: [Crash-utility] [RFC] makedumpfile, crash: LZO compression support
----- Original Message -----
Hello Kumagai-san,
Thanks for the evaluation.
So I'll re-post the patch soon removing RFC prefix in header. But
there is a remaining fix for checking command-line parameters relevant
to addition of the 'l' option.
How about the patch adding compression/IO time report?
I intended it only for the presentation of this RFC.
I'll post the corresponding patch in crash's side after crash 6.0.2 is
released, waiting for new configuration editing feature as Dave has
explained.
FYI, it's already in 6.0.1:
- Allow the user to append data to the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables in
the top-level Makefile. The extra data should be put in files named
"CFLAGS.extra" and "LDFLAGS.extra" in the top-level
directory; if
either or both files exist, the extra data within them will be
appended to the relevant variable. Typically the LDFLAGS.extra file
will contain "-l<library>" strings, and the CFLAGS.extra file
will
contain "-D<value>" strings. This will allow the crash utility
to
be built with optional libraries, and the code that references them
to be encapsulated with associated "#ifdef <value>" sections.
The
extra CFLAGS data will also be passed to extension modules that are
built within the local "crash-<version>/extensions"
subdirectory.
