Subject: [PATCH v5 8/8] crash_core: skip MEMBLOCK_NODUMP regions when building vmcore ELF header
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 17:35:19 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806093519.2907771-9-chenwandun1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806093519.2907771-1-chenwandun1@gmail.com>
From: Wandun Chen <chenwandun@lixiang.com>
Reserve regions (for GPU, DSP, ...) carry no data useful for crash
analysis. Exclude MEMBLOCK_NODUMP regions from the vmcore ELF header to
reduce vmcore size and capture time. crash_should_skip_region() now also
returns true for MEMBLOCK_NODUMP.
