[PATCH 1/4] kdump: Introduce ELFCORE_ADDR_NEWMEM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently vmcore gets the ELF header from oldmem using the global variable
"elfcorehdr_addr". This patch introduces a new possible value
ELFCORE_ADDR_NEWMEM. This indicates that the ELF header is allocated
in the new (2nd) kernel. In this case a new architecture function
arch_vmcore_get_elf_hdr() is called to obtain address and length of the
ELF header. The ELF header that is created in the 2nd kernel already
contains the correct relative offsets in the ELF notes and loads sections.
