I tried to use your kdump patches for kernel and kexec-tools. I am not
able to load the crash kernel properly.
I passed crashkernel=64M@259G (My 8GB RAM starts at 256G) to primary kernel.
Used following to load the crash kernel
kexec -p --load vmlinux --append="$( cat /proc/cmdline ) maxcpus=1
mem=64M reset_devices"
I see:
kexec_load failed: Cannot assign requested address
entry = 0x40c40005d0 flags = 0xb70001
What I noticed that arm64_load_other_segments does not calculate correct
load address for purgatory or if I pass initrd then for that too within
crash kernel allocated memory.
Shouldn't we have a function similar to locate_dtb_in_crashmem for
putgatory as well as initrd? I can try to fix this allocation, but I was
just wondering if I understood correctly or I am missing something.
