Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] arm64: kexec_file: add kdump
This is the last piece of my kexec_file_load implementation for arm64.
It is now ready for being merged as some relevant patch to dtc/libfdt[1]
has finally been integrated in v5.3-rc1.
(Nothing changed since kexec_file v16[2] except adding Patch#1.)
Patch#1 is preliminary patches for libfdt component.
Patch#2 is to add kdump support.
Bhepesh's patch[3] will be required for 52-bit VA support either against
legacy kexec or kexec_file.
Once this patch is applied, whether or not CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS_52 is
enabled or not, a matching fix[4] on user space side, crash utility,
will also be needed.
# NOTE:
# As of v5.5-rc1, crash utility doesn't work due to the commit
# b6e43c0e3129 ("arm64: remove __exception annotations").
# But the fix is trivial and it won't affect this kernel patch.
Anyway, I tested my patch, at least, with the following configuration:
1) CONFIG_ARM64_BITS_48=y
2) CONFIG_ARM64_BITS_52=y, but vabits_actual=48
(I don't have any platform to use for
3) CONFIG_ARM64_BITS_52=y, and vabits_actual=52)

v1.5.0-23-g87963ee20693"), in particular
