[PATCH 7/9] powerpc/fadump: add support to preserve crash data on FADUMP disabled kernel

Hari Bathini hbathini at linux.ibm.com
Fri Dec 21 06:01:05 AEDT 2018


Add a new kernel config option, CONFIG_PRESERVE_FA_DUMP that ensures
that crash data, from previously crash'ed kernel, is preserved. This
helps in cases where FADUMP is not enabled but the subsequent memory
preserving kernel boot is likely to process this crash data. One
typical usecase for this config option is petitboot kernel.
