loading the coredump file to memory

[Shivaprashanth H]

So once vmcore.0 dumpfile is created, is it possible to write it into the swap space which is assume already created on the disk. And during resume, load the system context from it.

using sysctl debug.kdb.panic=1 command, panic can be simulated which results in system reboot and writing of system context(ram snapshot?) to a file vmcore.x in /var/crash

my question is, will it be possible to load this file back into memory?
