Subject: [PATCH] x86, add hypervisor name to dump_stack()
Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2012 10:27:48 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1349879268-3573-1-git-send-email-prarit@redhat.com> (raw)

Debugging crash, panics, stack trace WARN_ONs, etc., from both virtual and
bare-metal boots can get difficult very quickly.  While there are ways to
decipher the output and determine if the output is from a virtual guest,
the in-kernel hypervisors now have a single registration point and set
x86_hyper.  We can use this to output a single extra line on virtual
machines that indicates the hypervisor type.
