Dump Handling

The dump(9E) entry point copies a portion of virtual address space directly to the specified device in the case of system failure or checkpoint operation. See the cpr(7) and dump(9E) man pages. The dump(9E) entry point must be capable of performing this operation without the use of interrupts.

The arguments for dump() are as follows:

dev

Device number of the dump device

addr

Kernel virtual address at which to start the dump

blkno

First destination block on the device

nblk

Number of blocks to dump
