I'm playing with skipping SetVirtualAddressMap in kexec kernel, for same kernel the test result is ok for me both for kexec and kdump. Takao Indoh sent a patch with this approatch, but his V2 switched to use physical mapping. During my test, additional data of config table elems need to be saved besides of fw_vendor, runtime and tables or dereference taglep->guid will panic. Also kexec userspace need to fill efi_info in bootparams and pass the previous saved efi data to 2nd kernel. I'm worrying just skiping enter virt mode have risk though it's an easy solution. Your 1:1 mapping approatch looks better. I look forward to test your new patchset. Are you also working on kexec userspace part? Already have a patch? > > Thanks. > > -- > Regards/Gruss, > Boris.
