status of LKCD into Linux Kernel

status of LKCD into Linux Kernel

[Hiro Yoshioka]

Hi,

I have a naive question. Will the LKCD be merged into
the Linus' kernel? If yes, when? wild guess?

http://kernelnewbies.org/status/latest.html
status is alpha. what does it mean?

please cc to me, because I'm not on the lkcd-general/linux-kernel
mailing list.

Regards,
  Hiro

I talked with Matt Robinson(sp?) at LinuxWorld-NY about LKCD for a few
minutes...  he gave me the impression that a lot of progress has been
made recently.  IBM apparently has some guys working on it, too.

I've always thought Linux needs industrial strength crash dumps like the
other Unices.  There are many benefits, but my own is self interest: 
bug reports get 1000 times better, since you get along with the crash
point a lot more info about the state of the system at the time of the
crash.

So, I hope LKCD is looked upon favorably by the Penguin Gods. :)

A lot of progress has been made ...

LKCD is currently up to 2.4.17, and should be simple to
move into 2.5.

I've asked Linus and others for inclusion in the past, and I
think it deserves consideration for 2.5, especially now that it
can be built into the kernel without having to be turned on.
At least in those cases, people who want it can turn it on,
and those that don't will never see it.

The LKCD development team (over 10 engineers now) is ready.

At my point of view, LKCD is convinced that it is the most important technology 
for us.

It seems to be LKCD is just working perfectly with our 2.4.17 kernel.
It reduces plenty of time for analysing Oops. Hence,for engineers like us, LKCD 
is necessary.

I am really looking forward that LKCD will be merged into Kernel main-tree
  in the near future. If it is possible that would probably be much better if 
the user ability and time for analysing can be improved.

I really appreciate everybody's works in this super team-LKCD.

Thanks again,
-- GO!

Hi,

Thanks to all.

I has been asked by customers, ISV vendors and many
to support a crash dump facility in the linux kernel.

I'd like to know issues/concerns to be merged the LKCD into
the kernel if any.

By the way, who is the kernel people to maintain a
dump facility? Linus? Dave?

Regards,
  Hiro
