[PATCH v24 1/9] arm64: kdump: reserve memory for crash dump kernel

AKASHI Takahiro takahiro.akashi at linaro.org
Mon Aug 8 18:52:48 PDT 2016


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

User space tools, like kexec-tools, will be able to find that region as
	- "Crash kernel" in /proc/iomem, or
	- "linux,crashkernel-base" and "linux,crashkernel-size" under
	  /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/chosen
