It is still not clear how does s390 use the crash_notes except this macro.
But from code point of view we do need to update this as well after the
crash_core splitting.

I found that in mainline since below commit, above define should be
useless, but if distribution with older kernel does need your fix, so in
mainline the right fix should be dropping the s390 part about these
macros usage.
Anyway this need a comment from Michael.
commit 8a07dd02d7615d91d65d6235f7232e3f9b5d347f
Author: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

s390/kdump: remove code to create ELF notes in the crashed system
The s390 architecture can store the CPU registers of the crashed
system
after the kdump kernel has been started and this is the preferred
way.
Remove the remaining code fragments that deal with storing CPU
registers
while the crashed system is still active.

Hold on the ack because of the new findings, wait for Michael's
feedback.

Indeed, then I think we can remove this special definition of S390 to avoid confusion.

Hi Xunlei,
Sorry for the late reply - I was on vacation up to now.
Give us some time to look into this issue.

Hello Xunlei,
As you already know on s390 we create the ELF header in the new kernel.
Therefore we don't use the per-cpu buffers for ELF notes to store
the register state.
For RHEL7 we still store the registers in machine_kexec.c:add_elf_notes().
Though we also use the ELF header from new kernel ...
We assume your original problem with the "kmem -s" failure
was caused by the memory overwrite due to the invalid size of the
"crash_notes" per-cpu buffers.
Therefore your patch looks good for RHEL7 but for upstream we propose the
patch below.

[PATCH] s390/crash: Remove unused KEXEC_NOTE_BYTES
After commmit 692f66f26a4c19 ("crash: move crashkernel parsing and vmcore
related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE") the KEXEC_NOTE_BYTES macro is not
used anymore and for s390 we create the ELF header in the new kernel
anyway. Therefore remove the macro.

Hi Michael,
Yes, we already did this way.
Thanks for the confirmation, the patch below looks good to me.
