Subject: Re: [PATCH, RFC] panic-note: Annotation from user space for panics
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:00:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AFC4D31.2000101@gmail.com> (raw)

Sincerely, I don't understand why we should involve the kernel to gather
this kind of information when we can use other (user-space) tools, only
to have "all" in a single report maybe? I think it's a bit weak reason
to include this additional behavior in the kernel.
