docs: kdump: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-06-14T20:21:24Z

Convert kdump documentation to ReST and add it to the user faced manual, as the documents are mainly focused on sysadmins that would be enabling kdump. Note: the vmcoreinfo.rst has one very long title on one of its sub-sections: PG_lru|PG_private|PG_swapcache|PG_swapbacked|PG_slab|PG_hwpoision|PG_head_mask|PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE(~PG_buddy)|PAGE_OFFLINE_MAPCOUNT_VALUE(~PG_offline) I opted to break this one, into two entries with the same content, in order to make it easier to display after being parsed in html and PDF. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

kdump: fix dmesg gdbmacro to work with record based printk

2016-06-03T22:06:22Z

Commit 7ff9554bb578 ("printk: convert byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer") introduced a record based printk buffer. Modify gdbmacros.txt to parse this new structure so dmesg will work properly.

kdump: fix gdb macros work work with newer and 64-bit kernels

2016-05-24T00:04:14Z

Lots of little changes needed to be made to clean these up, remove the four byte pointer assumption and traverse the pid queue properly. Also consolidate the traceback code into a single function instead of having three copies of it.
