[PATCH v2 13/20] kexec, elf: introduce NT_VMCORE_DEBUGINFO note type

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch introduces NT_VMCORE_DEBUGINFO to a unique note type in
VMCOREINFO name, which has had no name so far. The name means that
it's a kind of note type in vmcoreinfo that contains system kernel's
debug information.
