Relocatable kdump kernel support in kexec-tools
Relocatable kdump kernel support in kexec-tools
This patch adds relocatable kernel support for kdump in the kexec-tools
code. A signature (0xfeed1234) is passed in r6 from panic code to the
purgatory code through kexec_sequence function. The signature is used to
differentiate between relocatable kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels.
The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in
head_64.S by using the offset with respect to next kernel load address.
During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it is set, the
kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel.
