From: Michael Holzheu With this patch first the kdump checksums in purgatory are verified (with start_kdump(0)) before kdump is started. This allows us to do the shutdown actions defined under /sys/firmware as recovery action in case kdump is overwritten. The main use case is to define stand-alone dump as recovery action. We have to split the purgatory function into "checksum test" and "real execution", because we have to switch to the IPL CPU when we execute kdump. After the switch it is not possible to return from the called function.
