Subject: [PATCH v4 5/7] LoongArch/kexec_file: Add crash dump support
From: Youling Tang <tangyouling@...inos.cn>
Enabling crash dump (kdump) includes:
- Prepare contents of ELF header of a core dump file, /proc/vmcore,
using crash_prepare_elf64_headers().
- Add "elfcorehdr=size@...rt" to cmdline.
- Add the "mem=size@...rt" parameter to the command line and pass it to
the capture kernel. Limit the runtime memory area of the captured
kernel to avoid disrupting the production kernel's runtime state.
The basic usage for kdump(add the cmdline parameter crashkernel=512M
to grub.cfg):
1) Load capture kernel image(vmlinux.efi or vmlinux can also be used):
# kexec -s -p vmlinuz.efi --initrd=initrd.img --reuse-cmdline
2) Do something to crash, like:
# echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
