Subject: [PATCH 5.15 061/230] s390/setup: preserve memory at OLDMEM_BASE and OLDMEM_SIZE

From: Alexander Egorenkov <egorenar@...ux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 6b4b54c7ca347bcb4aa7a3cc01aa16e84ac7fbe4 ]

We need to preserve the values at OLDMEM_BASE and OLDMEM_SIZE which are
used by zgetdump in case when kdump crashes. In that case zgetdump will
attempt to read OLDMEM_BASE and OLDMEM_SIZE in order to find out where
the memory range [0 - OLDMEM_SIZE] belonging to the production kernel is.

Fixes: f1a546947431 ("s390/setup: don't reserve memory that occupied decompressor's head")
