Proposed upcoming work from Cai Qian <qcai@redhat.com>:

Here is my first draft plan of Kexec/Kdump tests enhancement sorted by
|
|
priorities. I would like to add them as many as possible.
|
|
|
|
== filtered vmcore utilities ==
|
|
- in different compressed levels, verify the vmcore with the correct
|
|
layout.
|
|
- verify it in flat file or ELF formats from a network host.
|
|
|
|
== analyse vmcore utilities ==
|
|
- GDB
|
|
- crash with better error detecting.
|
|
- crash to analyse Hypervisor and Dom0 Kernel.
|
|
|
|
== test scripts ==
|
|
- timestamp information for crash was triggered, vmcore was generated,
|
|
and vmcore was verified.
|
|
- aim to 100% automation, and reduce manual setup.
|
|
- tidy up scripts.
|
|
|
|
== crash scenarios ==
|
|
- SDINT switch for ia64 if possible.
|
|
- Hypervisor crash for Virtualization.
|
|
- crashes on full- and para-virt guests.
|
|
|
|
== fix bugs in existing tests ==
|
|
- printk LKDTM module can hang the second Kernel.
|
|
|
|
== kdump configurations and init script ==
|
|
- capture vmcore after init runs.
|
|
- rpm pre- and post-scripts
|
|
- kdump_pre and kdump_post directives
|
|
|
|
== increase coverages for new kexec/kdump development efforts ==
|
|
- new reserved region syntax in Kernel.
