[PATCH 5/10] kdump: x86_64 add memmmap command line option

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




o This patch introduces the memmap option for x86_64 similar to i386.

o memmap=exactmap enables setting of an exact E820 memory map, as 
  specified by the user.

Changes in this version:

o Used e820_end_of_ram() to find the max_pfn as suggested by
  Andi kleen.

o removed PFN_UP & PFN_DOWN macros

o Printing the user defined map also.
