Hello,
"echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" generates the kernel dump but it reboots the system.
I'd like to generate kernel dump without system reboot.
I found the CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP option that described as "it is possible to jump to the kdump kernel and generate kernel dump, and come back to the operating kernel".
So I enabled CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP option but I cannot figure out how to come back to the operating kernel.
For example, I did following sequences after reading kexec manual page.
1. kexec --load=/boot/vmlinuz --initrd=/boot/initrd --reuse-cmdline
2. kexec -e
3. now kdump kernel is running
4. kexec --load-jump-back-helper --entry=<ADDRESS>
5. kexec -e
I can jump to kdump kernel with step 1 and step 2.
kexec manual says I need an entry address.
I don't know what address I should use.
Does anybody know how to use CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP options and kexec to jump between kdump kernel and operating kernel?
Best regards,
Gioh Kim
