[PATCH v35 04/14] arm64: kdump: reserve memory for crash dump kernel

AKASHI Takahiro takahiro.akashi at linaro.org
Sun Apr 2 19:24:32 PDT 2017


"crashkernel=" kernel parameter specifies the size (and optionally
the start address) of the system ram to be used by crash dump kernel.
reserve_crashkernel() will allocate and reserve that memory at boot time
of primary kernel.

The memory range will be exposed to userspace as a resource named
"Crash kernel" in /proc/iomem.
