Ummm... iff the process is single threaded. :( Much more complex machinery is needed to restore full process anyway which would require some kernel facilities but definitely a lot more logic in userland. I really can't see much point in having dumper/restorer in kernel. The simplistic dumper/restorer proposed here isn't really useful - among other things, it's single threaded only and there's no mechanism to freeze the task being dumped. It is almost trivially implementable from userland using existing facilities. I wonder what the point is.
