This patch adds support for kdump, the kernel will reserve a region for the crash kernel and jump there on panic. In order for userspace tools (kexec-tools) to prepare the crash kernel kexec image, we also need to expose some information on /proc/iomem for the memory regions used by the kernel and for the region reserved for crash kernel. Note that on userspace the device tree is used to determine the system's memory layout so the "System RAM" on /proc/iomem is ignored. I tested this on riscv64 qemu and works as expected, you may test it by triggering a crash through /proc/sysrq_trigger: echo c > /proc/sysrq_trigger Signed-off-by: Nick Kossifidis <mick@ics.forth.gr> Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmerdabbelt@google.com> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
