Subject: crash_dump: fix compilation error (on MIPS at least)
From: Qais Yousef <qais.yousef@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5a610fcc7390ee60308deaf09426ada87a1eeec2 upstream.
In file included from kernel/crash_dump.c:2:0:
include/linux/crash_dump.h:22:27: error: unknown type name `pgprot_t'
when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
The error was traced back to commit 9cb218131de1 ("vmcore: introduce
remap_oldmem_pfn_range()")
include <asm/pgtable.h> to get the missing definition
