Subject: [PATCH v2 13/20] kexec, elf: introduce NT_VMCORE_DEBUGINFO note type
Date: Sat, 02 Mar 2013 17:37:02 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130302083701.31252.22736.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130302083447.31252.93914.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6>

This patch introduces NT_VMCORE_DEBUGINFO to a unique note type in
VMCOREINFO name, which has had no name so far. The name means that
it's a kind of note type in vmcoreinfo that contains system kernel's
debug information.
