Hi We use makedumpfile to read the dmesg buffer from the vmcore. We are working on adding a feature to makedumpfile to extract the "process list" from /proc/vmcore. Our main use case is to save the processes that were running at the time of kernel crash to a file on the permanent storage from the kdump kernel. We intend to read a handful of useful data for each running task: pid, parent pid, real parent pid, priority, nice value, RSS, VM size, command, utime, stime, OOM score. Process list from vmcore can probably be read using crash utility, but in our embedded system using makedumpfile to do that job makes sense for us. If such an option is useful for the general users of makedumpfile, we'd like to get more inputs and contribute to this feature. Thank you Prasad _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
