[RESEND PATCH v4 3/5] powerpc/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC

2017-03-24 Thread Hari Bathini
Now that crashkernel parameter parsing and vmcoreinfo related code is
moved under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE instead of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, remove
dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC for CONFIG_FA_DUMP. While here, get rid
of definitions of fadump_append_elf_note() & fadump_final_note()
functions to reuse similar functions compiled under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE.

[RESEND PATCH v4 3/5] powerpc/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC

2017-03-24 Thread Hari Bathini
Now that crashkernel parameter parsing and vmcoreinfo related code is
moved under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE instead of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, remove
dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC for CONFIG_FA_DUMP. While here, get rid
of definitions of fadump_append_elf_note() & fadump_final_note()
functions to reuse similar functions compiled under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE.

[PATCH v4 3/5] powerpc/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC

2017-01-05 Thread Hari Bathini
Now that crashkernel parameter parsing and vmcoreinfo related code is
moved under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE instead of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, remove
dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC for CONFIG_FA_DUMP. While here, get rid
of definitions of fadump_append_elf_note() & fadump_final_note()
functions to reuse similar functions compiled under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE.
