Allocating the crashkernel region outside lowmem causes the kernel to oops while trying to kexec into the new kernel: Loading crashdump kernel...

In any case, we don't want the control page to be a highmem page. We already limit the crash kernel region to the top of 32-bit physical memory space. Also limit it to the top of lowmem in physical space. Reported-by: Keerthy <j-keerthy@ti.com> Tested-by: Keerthy <j-keerthy@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
