Hi Andi,
In order to port kdump to x86_64, we need to have the
memmap= kernel command line option available. This is so
that the dump-capture kernel can be booted with a custom
memory map.
The attached patch adds the memmap= functionality to the
x86_64 kernel. It is against 2.6.12-rc2-mm3. I have done
some amount of testing and it is working fine.
Could you kindly review this patch and let me know your
thoughts on it.
You should add a __setup somewhere, otherwise the kernel
will complain about unknown arguments or generate a memmap
variable in inits environment.
Sure. Will add that.
Comma parsing would be nice.
Will add this for i386 as well and send out another patch
Otherwise it looks ok.
Thanks!
