A module can be\n   written to force the panic, for testing purposes.\n\n6) See Documentation/kdump.txt for how to read the first kernel\u0027s\n   memory image and how to analyze it.\n\nSigned-off-by: Hariprasad Nellitheertha \u003chari@in.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Eric Biederman \u003cebiederm@xmission.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Vivek Goyal \u003cvgoyal@in.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: randy_dunlap \u003crdunlap@xenotime.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Maneesh Soni \u003cmaneesh@in.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"
