Hi,

I am using kexec/kdump in my system for any crash. As we know, when the
system crashes, the capture kernel copies the /proc/vmcore file into a
predefined dump location (/var/log/dump) in the file system.
I gone through the source code fs/proc/vmcore.c. Is this the file which
creates the /proc/vmcore after a system crash because /proc/vmcore should be
the image of whole physical memory and ELF fomatted? If not, can anybody let
me know the source file name?

I think the pages in the vmcore should be in the following order.
1. Dump putbuf (header)
2. Kernel pages
3. Buffer cache pages
4. User pages
5. Free pages

Am I correct?

Thanks,
Shan
