Subject: [PATCH] [ppc] Do not reserve cpu spin-table for crash kernel
Date: Thu, 24 May 2012 11:39:45 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120524060933.14035.42732.stgit@suzukikp.in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAEsOVNeg2aogCwCy-v3ez4cC4VPF79A4PWRaO2ohDj_ypqCWmg@mail.gmail.com>
As of now, the kexec reserves the spin-table for all the CPUs
on an SMP machine. The spin-table is pointed to by the
cpu-release-addr property in the device-tree. Reserving the
spin-table in the crash kernel will cause a BUG(), if the table
lies outside the memory reserved for the crashkernel.
Disable reserving the spin-table regions and use maxcpus=1 to
use only the crashing CPU to boot the crash kernel.
