Hello Liu,
I'm curious how you tested this? The crash utility does not have
any specific support for LPAE on ARM, and a couple years ago I
asked on the crash-utility mailing list whether any of the ARM
developers were working on it. But at that time none of them were
working with LPAE. I see that you are on the crash-utility mailing
list -- are you planning to post follow-up patches to the crash-utility?
Thanks,
Dave
Yes, you are very "sensitive"! our team has worked on it for a while. And
we went through the whole kdump process for LPAE enabled ARM. Our changes
include kexec-tools, makedumpfile, crash utility and the kernel.
But we did that in a rather limited time. So some patches are silly and
need to be reconstructed before submission. In addition, my job is quit
full now. So I decide to post the patch series that are clear and
independent of the others at first.
But I got no response from the linux-arm and kexec mailinglist. What about
your opinion about the feature of LPAE support for kdump related tools
including crash utility and the kernel?
Thanks,
Liu Hua
