I'm a bit confused about this patch. Normal crash has LKCD support
also. Does that mean that this patch adds cross-debugging facility for
LKCD? Or for ELF core dumps and LKCD?
Looks like my fault. Actually I didn't mean that LKCD support was
added. Crash code was modified to allow analysis dump generated on one
platform (e.g. lkcd on ppc) on another (e.g. generic PC, i386). It was
tested that with this patch you may cross-analyze LKCD dumps. This
should also work with other dump, but this wasn't tested yet. And so,
it is said in summary that cross-crash allows the analysis of LKCD dumps.
And will this be merged mainline?
Thanks!
