Subject: [PATCH v12 10/15] x86/kexec: Use crash_prepare_headers() helper to simplify code
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2026 15:26:56 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402072701.628293-11-ruanjinjie@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260402072701.628293-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com>
Use the newly introduced crash_prepare_headers() function to replace
the existing prepare_elf_headers(), allocate cmem and exclude crash kernel
memory in the crash core, which reduce code duplication.
Only the following three architecture functions need to be implemented:
- arch_get_system_nr_ranges(). Call get_nr_ram_ranges_callback()
to pre-count the max number of memory ranges.
- arch_crash_populate_cmem(). Use prepare_elf64_ram_headers_callback()
to collect the memory ranges and fills them into cmem.
- arch_crash_exclude_ranges(). Exclude the low 1M for x86.
By the way, remove the unused "nr_mem_ranges" in
arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event().
