Subject: [PATCH] [FEAT 79969] s390: Fuzzy live dump for System z From: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Summary: s390: Fuzzy live dump for System z Description: A new dump mechanism is established to create a completely non-disruptive kernel dump. Because the Linux system continues running while the dump is written and kernel data structures are changing during the procedure, the resulting dump will not be consistent (fuzzy). This patch adds the following features to the zgetdump tool: - Live dump creation using new devmem source dump format - Live dump detection using --info option Problem-ID: 79969 --- zdump/Makefile | 2 zdump/dfi.c | 22 +++++ zdump/dfi.h | 10 ++ zdump/dfi_devmem.c | 155 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ zdump/zgetdump.8 | 222 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- zdump/zgetdump.h | 1 6 files changed, 339 insertions(+), 73 deletions(-) --- a/zdump/Makefile +++ b/zdump/Makefile @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ all: zgetdump OBJECTS = zgetdump.o opts.o zg.o \ dfi.o dfi_vmcoreinfo.o \ dfi_lkcd.o dfi_elf.o dfi_s390.o dfi_s390mv.o dfi_s390tape.o \ - dfi_kdump.o \ + dfi_kdump.o dfi_devmem.o \ dfo.o dfo_elf.o dfo_s390.o \ df_s390.o \ dt.o dt_s390sv.o dt_s390mv.o \ --- a/zdump/dfi.c +++ b/zdump/dfi.c @@ -14,10 +14,11 @@ #define PROGRESS_HASH_CNT 50 /* - * DFI vector - ensure that tape is the first in the list! + * DFI vector - ensure that tape is the first in the list and devmem the second! */ static struct dfi *dfi_vec[] = { &dfi_s390tape, + &dfi_devmem, &dfi_s390mv, &dfi_s390, &dfi_lkcd, @@ -28,6 +29,11 @@ static struct dfi *dfi_vec[] = { };
