[PATCH 00/04] Kexec / Kdump: Release 20061122 (xen-unstable-12502)

Hi everyone,

Here comes a new version of the Kexec / Kdump patches for x86 Xen. Not much
has changed since last release, just a minor fix for kdump on x86_64. 

Patches to make kexec-tools Xen aware have recently been sent to the fastboot
list. These patches will be merged in the kexec-tools-testing tree in the 
near future.

Changes:

20061122 - Release 20061122 for xen-unstable-12502

- Minor crash note fix for x86_64
  - Use __attribute__ ((packed)) to avoid alignment problems

20061108 - Release 20061108 for xen-unstable-12281

- Minor crash note fixes
  - Crash notes are now cleared on non-present cpus.
  - Crash notes are now 32-bit aligned - same as Linux.

Thanks,

/ magnus

[PATCH 00/04] Kexec / Kdump: Release 20061130 (xen-unstable-12621)

Hi again,

Here comes yet another release of the Kexec / Kdump patches for x86 Xen.
Many thanks to Ian Campbell for reviewing the previous version of the
patch set, I hopefully managed to fix all issues reported. I've spent 
the day so far up-porting and testing as you can see below. The results
are all good, and I think the code is in a good condition.

If there is anything I can do to help out with the merge don't hesitate
to ask!

kexec-tools:

Work is being done on making kexec-tools xen aware. For now, use version
529ad18980e297efc6ac2839c82afc24eccdcd1f of the kexec-tools git tree.

* use the kexec-tools-testing or apply the following patch to kexec-tools:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/horms/kexec-tools-testing.git;a=commit;h=0d5e71fbcb114b5a67ef7277dbad206915a20df2

** only certain versions of kexec-tools-testing tree work properly.

Changes:

20061108 - Release 20061108 for xen-unstable-12281

- Minor crash note fixes
  - Crash notes are now cleared on non-present cpus.
  - Crash notes are now 32-bit aligned - same as Linux.

I feel that the patches are in a good and stable state. Please let me know if
there is anything I can do to help out with the merge.

    - It is up to the tools to locate saved registers on the stack.
  - Xen-specific ELF note code rewritten.
    - Pass version information though ELF notes.
    - Fox x86, pass dom0 pfn_to_mfn_frame_list_list.

  - Intel VMX / IVT "Vanderpool" support for x86_32 and x86_64
  - AMD SVM / AMD-V "Pacifica" support for x86_32 and x86_64

- Command line parameter is now the same as for Linux:
  - For instance, "crashkernel=64M@32M" reserves a 64 MB window at 32 MB

- x86 and ia64 patches are now separated, this release is x86-only

- The x86 port is from this release handled by Magnus Damm
