Before > entering system call, we have below code: So your concern is that the current kexec-tools does not let you pass a crashkernel unless there is memory reserved for it? Once the changes land in the kernel I can make a patch for that. I am currently using this to test the code: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/platform2/+/3953579/4/kexec-lite/kexec-lite.c > > https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools.git/+/refs/heads/master/kexec/kexec.c > > int main(int argc, char *argv[]) > { > ...... > if (do_load && > ((kexec_flags & KEXEC_ON_CRASH) || > (kexec_file_flags & KEXEC_FILE_ON_CRASH)) && > !is_crashkernel_mem_reserved()) { > die("Memory for crashkernel is not reserved\n" > "Please reserve memory by passing" > "\"crashkernel=Y@X\" parameter to kernel\n" > "Then try to loading kdump kernel\n");
