[PATCH v5 2/5] s390/vmcore: Use ELF header in new memory feature

Michael Holzheu holzheu at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Fri Jun 7 12:55:58 EDT 2013


This patch now exchanges the old relocate mechanism with the new
arch function call override mechanism that allows to create the ELF
core header in the 2nd kernel.
