OK, moving x86 CRASH_ALIGN to 2M is suggested by Dave. Because CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN can be selected from 2M to 16M. So 2M seems good. But, anyway, we should tell the reason why it need be changed in commit log. arch/x86/Kconfig: config PHYSICAL_ALIGN hex "Alignment value to which kernel should be aligned" default "0x200000" range 0x2000 0x1000000 if X86_32 range 0x200000 0x1000000 if X86_64 > - Update Documentation/devicetree/bindings/chosen.txt > Add corresponding documentation to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/chosen.txt suggested by Arnd. > - Add Tested-by from Jhon and pk > > Changes since [v6] > - Fix build errors reported by kbuild test robot. > > Changes since [v5] > - Move reserve_crashkernel_low() into kernel/crash_core.c. > - Delete crashkernel=X,high. And the crashkernel=X,high being deleted need be told too. Otherwise people reading the commit have to check why themselves. I didn't follow the old version, can't see why ,high can't be specified explicitly. > - Modify crashkernel=X,low. > If crashkernel=X,low is specified simultaneously, reserve spcified size low > memory for crash kdump kernel devices firstly and then reserve memory above 4G. > In addition, rename crashk_low_res as "Crash kernel (low)" for arm64, and then > pass to crash dump kernel by DT property "linux,low-memory-range". > - Update Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst. > > Changes since [v4] > - Reimplement memblock_cap_memory_ranges for multiple ranges by Mike. > > Changes since [v3] > - Add memblock_cap_memory_ranges back for multiple ranges. > - Fix some compiling warnings. > > Changes since [v2] > - Split patch "arm64: kdump: support reserving crashkernel above 4G" as > two.
