Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] kexec-tools, x86: E820 memmap pass for kdump
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2014 23:09:05 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1394464149-30384-1-git-send-email-chaowang@redhat.com> (raw)

Hi, All

When kaslr comes in and kdump is broken, it seems about the right time to use
E820 instead of memmap=exactmap to pass memmap for kdump for the default memmap
passing mechanism:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2014-February/011048.html

Unfortunately, saved_max_pfn still got its user out there (calgry pci, it looks
like the only one). So for backward compatibility, I'm introducing a new option
--pass-memmap-cmdline to force kexec-tools to pass memmap=exactmap, the old way.

Any comment is appreciate!

v2->v3:
Linn: do not free sd (setup_data) buffer

v1->v2:

Vivek:
 - Use function instead of macro for dbgprint_mem_range
 - Do not pass reserved memory range for kdump. It could addressed later
   separately.

WANG Chao (4):
  cleanup: add dbgprint_mem_range function
  x86: Store memory ranges globally used for crash kernel to boot into
  x86: add --pass-memmap-cmdline option
  x86: Pass memory range via E820 for kdump
