[RFC PATCH 4/4 v1] livedump: Add tools to make livedump creation easier

Lukas Hruska <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-debuggers,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Add tool wrapping all handling of livedump's sysfs. Add tool extracting the
dump from block device first checking the correct size of dumped memory. This
way the extraction can be done even after resizing the physical memory.
