Subject: [PATCH v22 8/8] Documentation: dt: chosen properties for arm64 kdump
Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2016 14:05:14 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160712050514.22307-9-takahiro.akashi@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160712050514.22307-1-takahiro.akashi@linaro.org>

From: James Morse <james.morse@arm.com>

Add documentation for
	linux,crashkernel-base and crashkernel-size,
	linux,usable-memory-range, and
	linux,elfcorehdr
used by arm64 kexec/kdump to decribe the kdump reserved area, and
the elfcorehdr's location within it.

[takahiro.akashi at linaro.org:
    renamed "usable-memory" to "usable-memory-range",
    added "linux,crashkernel-base" and "-size" ]

+----------------
+
+This property is set (currently only on arm64) during kdump to tell
+the crash-dump kernel the address and size of the elfcorehdr that describes
+the old kernel's memory as an elf file. This memory must reside within
+the area described by 'linux,usable-memory-range'. e.g.
+
+/ {
