[PATCH 10/15] arm64: kdump: reserve memory for crash dump kernel

Geoff Levand geoff at infradead.org
Fri Nov 6 11:14:37 PST 2015


From: AKASHI Takahiro <takahiro.akashi at linaro.org>

On primary kernel, the memory region used by crash dump kernel must be
specified by "crashkernel=" boot parameter. reserve_crashkernel()
will allocate and reserve the region for later use.

User space tools will be able to find the region marked as "Crash kernel"
in /proc/iomem.
