This patch series adds kdump support on arm64. To load a crash-dump kernel to the systems, a series of patches to kexec-tools[1] are also needed. Please use the latest one, v4 [2]. To examine vmcore (/proc/vmcore) on a crash-dump kernel, you can use - crash utility (v7.1.6 or later) [3] I validated this patchset on fast model. The previous version, v27, was also: Tested-by: Pratyush Anand <panand at redhat.com> (mustang and seattle) Tested-by: James Morse <james.morse at arm.com> (Juno) For your convenience, you can also find the patches: https://git.linaro.org/people/takahiro.akashi/linux-aarch64.git arm64/kdump https://git.linaro.org/people/takahiro.akashi/kexec-tools.git arm64/kdump [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools.git [2] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2016-November/017555.html [3] https://github.com/crash-utility/crash.git Changes for v28 (Nov 22, 2016) o rebased to Linux-v4.9-rc6 o revamp patch #1 and merge memblock_cap_memory_range() with memblock_mem_limit_remove_map() Changes for v27 (Nov 1, 2016) o rebased to Linux-v4.9-rc3 o revert v26 change, i.e. revive "linux,usable-memory-range" property (patch #2/#3, updating patch #9) o minor fixes per review comments (patch #3/#4/#6/#8) o re-order patches and improve commit messages for readability Changes for v26 (Sep 7, 2016): o Use /reserved-memory instead of "linux,usable-memory-range" property (dropping v25's patch#2 and #3, updating ex-patch#9.) Changes for v25 (Aug 29, 2016): o Rebase to Linux-4.8-rc4 o Use memremap() instead of ioremap_cache() [patch#5] 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.
