The issues are mentioned in patches 1/4/5/6. I will update kdump documentation for MIPS if the series gets accepted. Testing has been done on single core i6500/Boston with IOCU, dual core i6500 without IOCU, and dual core interAptiv without IOCU. Changes: v3 - v2: * Code style changes according to `scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict`. Patch #6, like before, still has a warning message reminding if MAINTAINERS needs updating. But it does NOT involve a maintainer change. * Add LIBFDT to CPU_LOONGSON3 for default_machine_kexec_prepare(). v2 - v1: * Tested on MIPS32R2 platform in addition to MIPS64R6. * Added patches #5 and #6. * In patch #2, removed the unnecessary inclusion of asm/mipsmtregs.h Dengcheng Zhu (6): MIPS: Make play_dead() work for kexec MIPS: kexec: Let the new kernel handle all CPUs MIPS: kexec: Deprecate (relocated_)kexec_smp_wait MIPS: kexec: Do not flush system wide caches in machine_kexec() MIPS: kexec: Relax memory restriction MIPS: kexec: Use prepare method from generic platform as default option arch/mips/cavium-octeon/setup.c | 2 +- arch/mips/cavium-octeon/smp.c | 36 +++++++++------ arch/mips/generic/Makefile | 1 - arch/mips/generic/kexec.c | 44 ------------------ arch/mips/include/asm/kexec.h | 11 ++--- arch/mips/include/asm/smp.h | 4 +- arch/mips/kernel/crash.c | 4 +- arch/mips/kernel/machine_kexec.c | 78 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- arch/mips/kernel/process.c | 2 +- arch/mips/kernel/relocate_kernel.S | 39 ---------------- arch/mips/kernel/smp-bmips.c | 11 +++-- arch/mips/kernel/smp-cps.c | 60 ++++++++++++++---------- arch/mips/loongson64/loongson-3/smp.c | 86 +++++++++++++++++++---------------- 13 files changed, 191 insertions(+), 187 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 arch/mips/generic/kexec.c -- 2.7.4
