Hi Stephen/Andrew,

Sorry for the trouble.

The following patch will fix it, do you want to me to send it out separately? or help merge it into
fc7d2b44367f ("powerpc/fadump: use the correct VMCOREINFO_NOTE_SIZE for phdr") directly?

Thanks,
Xunlei

Subject: [PATCH] crash: Fix build warning

linux-next build (arm multi_v7_defconfig) produced this warning:

In file included from include/asm-generic/bug.h:15:0,
                 from arch/arm/include/asm/bug.h:59,

                 from include/linux/crash_core.h:5,
                 from kernel/crash_core.c:9:
kernel/crash_core.c: In function 'vmcoreinfo_append_str':

  r = min(r, VMCOREINFO_BYTES - vmcoreinfo_size);
      ^

This patch fixes it.
