Hi,
I am reposting this patch as there was no response after I modified the
patch based on feedback. Is there a problem with the patch? If yes please
let me know, I shall rectify that.
We need this patch to trigger the booting of capture kernel if system is
hung and die_nmi() hits or some thread oopses and panic_on_oops is set.
System starts booting into capture kernel only if it is pre-loaded otherwise
normal operation continues and existing functionality is not impacted.
o Start booting into the capture kernel after an Oops if system is in a
unrecoverable state. System will boot into the capture kernel, if one is
pre-loaded by the user, and capture the kernel core dump.
o One of the following conditions should be true to trigger the booting of
capture kernel.
- panic_on_oops is set.
- pid of current thread is 0
- pid of current thread is 1
- Oops happened inside interrupt context.
