[PATCH 1/3] ARM : kdump : Add LPAE support

Liu Hua sdu.liu at huawei.com
Thu Mar 27 04:00:38 EDT 2014


With CONFIG_LPAE=y, memory in 32-bit ARM systems can exceed
4G. So if we use kdump in such systems. The capture kernel
should parse 64-bit elf header(parse_crash_elf64_headers).

And this process can not pass because ARM linux does not
supply related check function.

This patch adds check functions related of elf64 header.
