You use LINUX for the OSABI, which doesn't seem right. I'm not clear why these are all program headers instead of sections. Given the slightly odd nature of this file, I would expect it to have no phdrs, or at most one phdr for the page array (and plus a section header). Same goes for notes - those would seem more useful as a section per type of thing (e.g. a .XEN_vcpu_context section, etc.). And that way you get the "what is this section's size" and "how big are the entries" for free. But before all this, most importantly, I'd like all interested parties to sit down and design (and document!) the exact contents of the ELF format first, especially considering the needs of HVM and save/migration format. It doesn't make sense to me to start coding until we at least have a good idea of what we need in the new format. regards john -- Crash-utility mailing list Crash-utility@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/crash-utility
