This patch series adds kdump support on arm64.
To load a crash-dump kernel to the systems, a series of patches to
kexec-tools, which have not yet been merged upstream, are needed.
Please use my kdump patches [1].
To examine vmcore (/proc/vmcore) on a crash-dump kernel, you can use
- crash utility (coming v7.1.6 or later) [2]
(Necessary patches have already been queued in the master.)

Changes for v24 (Aug 9, 2016):
o Rebase to Linux-4.8-rc1
o Update descriptions about newly added DT proerties
Changes for v23 (July 26, 2016):
o Move memblock_reserve() to a single place in reserve_crashkernel()
o Use cpu_park_loop() in ipi_cpu_crash_stop()
o Always enforce ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT to the memory range of crash kernel
o Re-implement fdt_enforce_memory_region() to remove non-reserve regions
(for ACPI) from usable memory at crash kernel
Changes for v22 (July 12, 2016):
o Export "crashkernel-base" and "crashkernel-size" via device-tree,
and add some descriptions about them in chosen.txt
o Rename "usable-memory" to "usable-memory-range" to avoid inconsistency
with powerpc's "usable-memory"
o Make cosmetic changes regarding "ifdef" usage
o Correct some wordings in kdump.txt
Changes for v21 (July 6, 2016):
o Remove kexec patches.
o Rebase to arm64's for-next/core (Linux-4.7-rc4 based).
o Clarify the description about kvm in kdump.txt.
