Subject: [PATCH v6 0/6] kexec: put bzImage and ramdisk above 4G for x86 64bit
Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:18:26 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1355437112-9250-1-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org> (raw)

Now we have limit kdump reserved under 896M, because kexec has the limitation.
and also bzImage need to stay under 4g.

kernel parts changes could be found at:
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/yinghai/linux-yinghai.git for-x86-boot

here patches are for kexec tools to load bzImage and ramdisk above 4G
acccording to new added boot header fields.

-v3: address review from Eric to use locate_hole at first.
     use xloadflags instead.
-v4: remove the restriction about bzImage not crossing GB boundary.
     add real-mode fix for bzImage.
     add --entry-32bit and --real-mode for skip bzImage64.
-v5: use USE_EXT_BOOT_PARAMS bit in xloadflags.
-v6: use sentinel instead of USE_EXT_BOOT_PARAMS.
     add crashkernel_low support

Yinghai Lu (6):
  kexec, x86: add boot header member for version 2.12
  kexec, x86: clean boot_params area for entry-32bit path
  kexec, x86: Fix bzImage real-mode booting
  kexec, x86: put ramdisk/cmd_line above 4G for 64bit bzImage
  kexec, x86_64: Load bzImage64 above 4G
  kexec, x86: handle Crash low kernel range
