kexec/kdump: Use generic elf code on ia64
Simon Horman

Wed Apr 25 05:09:05 EDT 2007
Make use of the generic implementation of crash_save_cpu().
On ia64 the registers are saved by a kdump-specific function
ia64_dump_cpu_regs() rather than elf_core_copy_regs() which
is used by other architectures via crash_save_cpu(). It seems
that ia64_dump_cpu_regs() and elf_core_copy_regs() are indeed
quite different
In order to facilitate this kdump_elf_core_copy_regs()
has been created, and it is called by crash_save_cpu().
By default kdump_elf_core_copy_regs() is just defined to be
elf_core_copy_regs() and ia64 defines its own implementation,
which calls ia64_dump_cpu_regs(). The ia64 version also sets
register 47 in accordance with the code that it replaces.
crash_save_cpu() has also been modifued to use a pre-alocated,
per-cpu variable for saving the cpu registers, as per the
IA64 specific code that this patch removes. This is
in order to reduce possible stack contention at crash-time.
The code appears to work, however as the place where the registers
are captured has changed natrually some of their values have also changed.
This makes looking for problems by comparing the new and old output a
little tricky.

* This patch applies on top of the note size calculation patch
that can be found in mm and at
http://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/fastboot/2007-April/006792.html
Porting this patch to not require that one is quite trivial.
I can supply a port or a thread containing both patches if it helps.
* Update
Diff against include/asm-ia64/kexec.h instead of include/asm/kexec.h
Ooops!
* Updated crash_save_cpu() to use a per-cpu variable for the registers.
As requested by Nanhai Zou
* This patch does three things, should it be split?
- Makes crash_save_cpu() use a per-cpu variable.
- Adds the kdump_elf_core_copy_regs() macro
- Has IA64 use the generic code (which requires the other two changes).
* Added CC: kexec at lists.infradead.org, which is the new place for kexec
discussion.
