You may have noticed that we're now using the new libkvm if you've been
watching the source-changes list. No changes to your kvm-using utilities
(ps, w, systat, etc.) are necessary for running kernels; what has changed
is the crash dump format and the manner in which these utilities can be
used to debug a crash dump. If you need to do this type of debugging, you
should:
1) make sure /usr/include/machine/kcore.h and
/usr/include/m68k/kcore.h are current versions,
2) build and install in src/lib/libkvm, and
3) rebuild any utilities that depend on this (notably
including savecore(8)).
I've tested this on Macs with both a single contiguous RAM segment and
with multiple RAM segments, so I'm not expecting any trouble. As always,
if you notice a problem, please let me know directly.
Thanks,
