s390 machines (z900 or higher) provide hardware support for creating Linux dumps on SCSI disks. Our current implementation consists of a userspace application running on an special Linux dump kernel, which exploits the s390 hardware support. Since both parts (kernel and userspace) belong together, we would like to put the application code in the Linux source tree under "arch/s390". Currently we have a dependency on the libc of the target system. Klibc would be a nice solution for that. Are there currently any plans for upstream klibc? * Patch 2 implements the kernel support (zcore character device) * Patch 3 implements the userspace part, which resides in arch/s390 For more information please refer to Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt, which is contained in patch 2. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-s390" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
