kvm_getproc2() -> sysctl(KERN_PROC2)
kvm_getargv2() -> sysctl(KERN_PROC_ARGS, KERN_PROC_ARGV)
kvm_getenvv2() -> sysctl(KERN_PROC_ARGS, KERN_PROC_ENV)
Add new KVM_NO_FILES flag to kvm_open*() - set up enough state to
use the above calls without having to open any kernel files.
XXX: kvm_getprocs.3 and kvm_open.3 to be updated soon.
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.
