Yes it's called *drumroll* dump_state():

    NAME
	    dump_state - create a state dump

    SYNOPSIS
	    void dump_state()


    DESCRIPTION
	    Dump the current state of the system to file.  The actual dump is
            not performed until after the current thread has finished.

    SEE ALSO
	    kfun/swapout

Hope that helps,

Erwin.
