[PATCH 0/4] kexec-tools, x86: E820 memmap pass for kdump

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

 



Hi, All

When kaslr comes in and kdump is broken, it seems about the right time to use
E820 instead of memmap=exactmap to pass memmap for kdump for the default memmap
passing mechanism:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2014-February/011048.html

Unfortunately, saved_max_pfn still got its user out there (calgry pci, it looks
like the only one). So for backward compatibility, I'm introducing a new option
--pass-memmap-cmdline to force kexec-tools to pass memmap=exactmap, the old way.

Any comment is appreciate!

WANG Chao (4):
  add macro dbgprint_mem_range
  x86: Store memory ranges globally used for crash kernel to boot into
  x86: add --pass-memmap-cmdline option
  x86: Pass memory range via E820 for kdump
