[PATCH v2 2/2] kexec: implement ARM crashdump support

Mika Westerberg ext-mika.1.westerberg at nokia.com
Wed May 5 02:58:33 EDT 2010


Implement support for loading dump capture kernels for ARM architecture. ARM
doesn't need any backup memory regions so only elfcore header is allocated from
the top of the reserved memory region. Only zImages are supported.

The dump capture kernel needs to be loaded to physical address corresponding to
the memory region reserved with 'crashkernel=size at start' kernel command line
parameter.
