Subject: [PATCH V2] ARM: kdump: copy kernel relocation code at the kexec prepare stage
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2011 20:00:43 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1316520043-14619-1-git-send-email-leiwen@marvell.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1316151129-30491-1-git-send-email-leiwen@marvell.com>
This copy really don't need to do at the very second before the kernel
would crash.

Changelog:
V2: move the flush_icache_range after the memcpy operation to ensure I/D cache
coherency for the relocation code
