[PATCH v29 3/9] arm64: kdump: reserve memory for crash dump kernel

AKASHI Takahiro takahiro.akashi at linaro.org
Tue Dec 27 20:36:00 PST 2016


"crashkernel=" kernel parameter specifies the size (and optionally
the start address) of the system ram used by crash dump kernel.
reserve_crashkernel() will allocate and reserve the memory at the startup
of primary kernel.

This memory range will be exported to userspace via:
	- an entry named "Crash kernel" in /proc/iomem, and
	- "linux,crashkernel-base" and "linux,crashkernel-size" under
	  /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/chosen
