Please redo this series based on that, thanks.
My bigger issue with this whole series is what would this all look
like if every SoC vendor upstreamed their own custom dumping
mechanism. That would be a mess. (I have similar opinions on the
$soc-vendor hypervisors.)
Mukesh,
LPC CFP is still open. There will be also Android and Kernel Debugging
LPC microconference tracks. Coming with a unified solution could be a
great topic for LPC. Solutions targeting only one user are quite often
frowned upon.
LPC is far out and in November. Can we not have others speak up if they
have the similar solution now? We can expand this to linux-kernel and
ask for the other SOC vendors to chime in. I am sure that we may have
existing solutions which came in for the one user first like Intel RDT
if I remember. I am sure ARM MPAM usecase was present at that time but
Intel RDT based solution which was x86 specific but accepted.
