[PATCH v5 5/9] arm64: kdump: add elf core header segment

AKASHI Takahiro takahiro.akashi at linaro.org
Tue Jan 24 00:33:27 PST 2017


Elf core header contains the information necessary for the coredump of
the 1st kernel, including its physcal memory layout as well as cpu register
states at the panic.
The segment is allocated inside the reserved memory of crash dump kernel.
