[PATCHv2 1/2] kexec: add a dummy note for each offline cpu

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

 



kexec-tools always allocates program headers for each present cpu. This
incurs zero PT_NOTE for offline cpu. We mark this case so that later,
the capture kernel can distinguish it from the mistake of allocated
program header.
The counterpart of the capture kernel comes in next patch.
