I understand that it's helpful to get them even with -d 31 for crash's "ps -a" option.. > > To achieve this feature, mm_struct's members "arg_start, arg_end, > env_start, env_end;" should be accessed. So we need to export mm_struct > and init_mm through vmcore. How many offsets/sizes will be required to walk all tasks? If kernel maintainers accept it, I will not oppose that feature.. (or it would be simpler to mark the pages something special when allocating, but I don't feel like it's easy to change kernel to do so.)
