Thanks Luc. We will let you know if in case we need any info/help.
I am also forwarding this mail to kexec mailing list.

Libsial is meant to be a pluggable entity and as such should not
require other pieces to be there ( crash or gdb).
I want to create project and associated git for the library soon. For now you can extract libsial from the crash tar ball and manage any modifications using a simple patch mechanism. When the git is available, we can merge any fixes or enhancements you created for support of makedumpfile.
Makedumpfile and crash would then feed off of specific branches/versions of the git repository. If you have any suggestions or want to help in setting up a public git / project page for sial, please let me know.

We are looking for utilising SIAL as a language construct for the makedumpfile kernel data filtering from vmcore feature. The details of which are in the mail forward.
The proposed enhancement will require libsial.a and as SIAL is not currently built/shipped, we are looking for possibilities on how libsial.a can be made available to makedumpfile. Please let us know your opinion on the same.

Hi Dave,
Last year, we worked on the makedumpfile security key filtering where we added support to filter out kernel data from vmcore. This year, we are working on enhancing the framework to provide more flexibility for the customers to specify rules to traverse and filter out kernel data
- for which we are planning to use SIAL.We are looking into using SIAL as language construct to specify rules/commands to erase data in the image file. The makedumpfile would interpret the rules provided in SIAL macro using SIAL library (which could be dynamically loaded) and erase out suitable data in the vmcore. We are planning to reuse SIAL as it provides a C language like construct, which is flexible and powerful enough to specify rules to erase data in vmcore.

As SIAL is not built and shipped along with crash, we are looking for possibilities on how SIAL can be leveraged by makedumpfile and would like to know your opinion.

Sorry but I cannot give you any help with SIAL. Luc Chouinard is the maintainer of the SIAL extension module adaptation for the crash utility, and he can answer your questions w/respect to adapting it for makedumpfile.
And ultimately, that's a question for the makedumpfile maintainers.Dave

My hope is to have something available 2 weeks from now. No promises - I have a few critical deliveries to take care here @ s2 first.
First step is to finish off some significant fixes and enhancements to the compiler (like the support for typeof() and typed symbols) which will make it possible to include and use what I now found to be pervasive macros like hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(), offsetof(), container_of() as-is.
