I was trying to reserve some memory to save logs incase that Android panic or
hang and then
I can read the logs from QNX side from the memory reserved before on the
Qualcomm 8155 hypervisor platform,
and I find the "reserve=" parameter only support 32bit,so I made some change
and send these patches.
testcase:
I test on the qemu with some cmdline like[qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel
linux-next/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage
-hda ubuntu-system.ext4 -append "root=/dev/sda init=/bin/bash
console=ttyS0 reserve=0x180000000,0x123456"
-nographic] and check the /proc/iomem with 180000000-180123455 :
reserved.
And some other tests with the get_option with the parameter(-12345678)
and so on
Wesley Zhao (2):
lib/cmdline: add new function get_option_ull()
resource: Make it possible to reserve memory on 64bit platform
