Hello everybody, I need to save the current state of the kernel. For this I am reading the /proc/kcore file. As my understanding goes /proc/kcore gives the whole memory of the system and is dynamic. Is it possible to use a kernel lock mechanism like BKL so that when reading from this file, the file doesnt change ? Any comments on this approach or any new suggestions will be appretiated. regards, Sabyasachi Pradhan. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
