I would suggest to remove the "experimental" status from Kdump.
Kdump is now in the kernel since a long time and used by Enterprise
distributions. I don't think that "experimental" is true any more.

agreed. I have applied your patch to tip/x86/crashdump (separate topic
due to its fs/Kconfig impact).

At least for ia64 I wouldn't consider it as experimental. Don't know
about SH and PPC. But should we mark it as EXPERIMENTAL on all
platforms only because some "exotic" (at least SH) platforms have kdump
not very long implemented?

On PPC it's also quite mature (just talked with our PPC maintainer),
they are also working on relocatable kernel support for kdump.

On PPC it's also quite mature (just talked with our PPC maintainer),
they are also working on relocatable kernel support for kdump.

It has been present long enough on ia64 and ppc64. Only new entry seems
to be SH. I would think of leaving it EXPERIMENTAL only on SH.

So, "PROC_FS && (!SH || EXPERIMENTAL) && CRASH_DUMP" ?

Yes, kdump should remain EXPERIMENTAL on SH for the time being. It's only
been tested on a tiny subset of CPUs, and will need additional work for
the rest (as with kexec for that matter).
