This is my first time in the process. Please tell me if I'm
doing something wrong.

I commited the changes on top of Linus (torvalds/linux) tree
using the --signoff flag and generated the patch. Now I must
send it to linux-doc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?

Have you read the "How to write your first kernel patch" tutorial page
on the kernelnewbies.org site?  That should answer all of your
qeustions.

And yes, you do now need to send the patch to that address, use the
scripts/get_maintainer.pl tool on your patch to see the proper people to
send it to.

Good luck!

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?

Gioh Kim
