1) savecore will not access the dump or live-kernel directly. It
will always use the kvm-functions. Allowing it to work on kernels
that don't have a 1-1 PA-VA mapping.
2) the kvm-lib has some additional functions to accomplish 1
- kvm_dump_mkheader()
- kvm_dump_wrtheader()
- kvm_dump_inval()
3) the file formats of the dump generated by the kernel and the dump
generated by savecore have been changed. The file format now looks
like the format produced for 'normal' core dumps.
Ports not yet supporting the new kvm-format will be using libkvm.old/
savecore.old for the time being.
works again. solves pr 1257, but sets dumpsize earlier than suggested
in that pr, so that dumpsize is set if a core doesn't appear to be
present (because dumpsize would be used if the '-f' flag is given).
most of the 'off' arguments to Lseek() (the internal lseek() wrapper)
are unsigned longs. we need them to be sign extended, though, so change
Lseek() to take a 'long' rather than an 'off_t', and let the compiler
do the dirty work via implicit casts.
