[PATCH v21 1/8] arm64: kdump: reserve memory for crash dump kernel

AKASHI Takahiro takahiro.akashi at linaro.org
Wed Jul 6 00:52:19 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 marked
as "Crash kernel" in /proc/iomem.
