I would like to add them as many as possible. 18 19 == filtered vmcore utilities == 20 - in different compressed levels, verify the vmcore with the correct 21 layout. 22 - verify it in flat file or ELF formats from a network host. 23 24 == analyse vmcore utilities == 25 - GDB 26 - crash with better error detecting. 27 - crash to analyse Hypervisor and Dom0 Kernel. 28 29 == test scripts == 30 - timestamp information for crash was triggered, vmcore was generated, 31 and vmcore was verified. 32 - aim to 100% automation, and reduce manual setup. 33 - tidy up scripts. 34 35 == crash scenarios == 36 - SDINT switch for ia64 if possible. 37 - Hypervisor crash for Virtualization. 38 - crashes on full- and para-virt guests. 39 40 == fix bugs in existing tests == 41 - printk LKDTM module can hang the second Kernel. 42 43 == kdump configurations and init script == 44 - capture vmcore after init runs. 45 - rpm pre- and post-scripts 46 - kdump_pre and kdump_post directives 47 48 == increase coverages for new kexec/kdump development efforts == 49 - new reserved region syntax in Kernel. 50
