- dynamic per cpu allocation of memory for saving cpu registers
- export per cpu crash notes pointer through sysfs
- save registers early (inline functions)
Murali M:
- x86_64 add memmmap command line option
- x86_64 add elfcorehdr command line option
- x86_64 kexec on panic
- x86_64 save cpu registers upon crash
Rachita Kothiyal:
- read previous kernel's memory
- kexec increase max segment limit
This set of patches has been tested on i386 and em64t x86_64 machine. Crash
dumps can be captured and opened using gdb and crash-4.0-2.12.
Corresponding kexec-tools patches are being posted in a separate set
on fastboot mailing list.
Thanks
Vivek
