Subject: kdump: Report actual value of VMCOREINFO_OSRELEASE in VMCOREINFO
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:07:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080718000745.51d32607@kopernikus.site> (raw)

The current implementation reports the structure name as
VMCOREINFO_OSRELEASE in VMCOREINFO, e.g.

        VMCOREINFO_OSRELEASE=init_uts_ns.name.release

That doesn't make sense because it's always the same. Instead, use the
value, e.g.

        VMCOREINFO_OSRELEASE=2.6.26-rc3

That's also what the 'makedumpfile -g' does.
