From 344d1fb456e115c821a26586a85d9e3f058aff7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miod Vallat Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 22:18:01 +0000 Subject: All operation on live kernels uses sysctl interface, there is no reason to access the swap area. Change kvm_open() to no longer require a swap area, and to not consider failure to open() it as fatal. Post-mortem analysis would need an image of the swap area at the time of the crash, anyway. --- lib/libkvm/kvm_open.3 | 9 +++------ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'lib/libkvm/kvm_open.3') diff --git a/lib/libkvm/kvm_open.3 b/lib/libkvm/kvm_open.3 index ad8b8101908..d5c27805b07 100644 --- a/lib/libkvm/kvm_open.3 +++ b/lib/libkvm/kvm_open.3 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -.\" $OpenBSD: kvm_open.3,v 1.12 2007/05/31 19:19:35 jmc Exp $ +.\" $OpenBSD: kvm_open.3,v 1.13 2009/01/21 22:18:00 miod Exp $ .\" $NetBSD: kvm_open.3,v 1.2 1996/03/18 22:33:52 thorpej Exp $ .\" .\" Copyright (c) 1992, 1993 @@ -34,7 +34,7 @@ .\" .\" @(#)kvm_open.3 8.3 (Berkeley) 4/19/94 .\" -.Dd $Mdocdate: May 31 2007 $ +.Dd $Mdocdate: January 21 2009 $ .Dt KVM_OPEN 3 .Os .Sh NAME @@ -96,10 +96,7 @@ is used. should indicate the swap device.
