Subject: [PATCH] kdump: Kconfig
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5f016456c96868c27df248a54d1cc919e7b70a23;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] kdump: Kconfig

- config option CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP

- Made it dependent on HIGHMEM.  This is required as capture kernel treats
  the previous kernel's memory as high memmory and stitches a PTE for
  accessing it.
