[PATCH 5/5] crash: option to let arch decide mem range is usable

Tue Dec 17 17:46:13 AEDT 2024


On PowerPC, the memory reserved for the crashkernel can contain
components like RTAS, TCE, OPAL, etc., which should be avoided when
loading kexec segments into crashkernel memory. Due to these special
components, PowerPC has its own set of functions to locate holes in the
crashkernel memory for loading kexec segments for kdump. However, for
loading kexec segments in the kexec case, PowerPC uses generic functions
to locate holes.

So, let's use generic functions to locate memory holes for kdump on
PowerPC by adding an arch hook to handle such special regions while
loading kexec segments, and remove the PowerPC functions to locate
holes.
