powerpc/xmon: Add dl command to dump contents of __log_buf
Hello All, Quite a while back Michael Ellerman had posted a patch to add support to xmon to print the contents of the console log pointed to by __log_buf. Here's the link to that patch - http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc64-dev/2005-March/003657.html I've ported the patch in the above link to 2.6.30-rc5 and have tested it. Thanks & regards, Vinay Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael at ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
