src/sys/arch/i386/i386: machdep.c
Log Message:
Add sparse kernel core dump ("minidump") support for i386, written by Jed
Davis for Coyote Point. Though this does not modify the kernel core
format (it uses multiple memory segments, a feature previously unused on
i386) it is nonetheless disabled by default. Sysctl machdep.sparse_dump=1
to turn this feature on.
Dumps of even busy, large-memory systems are generally a few tens of
megabytes.
