I have heard some complaints about people not finding CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
option and also some objections about its dependency on CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
The following patch ends that dependency. I thought of hiding it under
CONFIG_KEXEC, but CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START could also be used for some reasons
other than kexec/kdump and hence left it visible. I will also update the
documentation accordingly.
o Following patch removes the config dependency of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START
on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The reason being CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option for
kdump needs CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START which makes CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depend
on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. It is not always obvious for kdump users to choose
CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
o It also shifts the palce where this option appears, to make it closer
to kexec and kdump options.

[PATCH] kdump: x86_64 save cpu registers upon crash
- Saving the cpu registers of all cpus before booting in to the crash
kernel.
- crash_setup_regs will save the registers of the cpu on which panic has
occured. One of the concerns ppc64 folks raised is that after capturing the
register states, one should not pop the current call frame and push new one.
Hence it has been inlined. More call frames later get pushed on to stack
(machine_crash_shutdown() and machine_kexec()), but one will not want to
backtrace those.
- Not very sure about the CFI annotations. With this patch I am getting
decent backtrace with gdb. Assuming, compiler has generated enough
debugging information for crash_kexec(). Coding crash_setup_regs() in pure
assembly makes it tricky because then it can not be inlined and we don't
want to return back after capturing register states we don't want to pop
this call frame.
- Saving the non-panicing cpus registers will be done in the NMI handler
while shooting down them in machine_crash_shutdown.
- Introducing CRASH_DUMP option in Kconfig for x86_64.

[PATCH] kdump: save registers early (inline functions)
- If system panics then cpu register states are captured through funciton
crash_get_current_regs(). This is not a inline function hence a stack frame
is pushed on to the stack and then cpu register state is captured. Later
this frame is popped and new frames are pushed (machine_kexec).
- In theory this is not very right as we are capturing register states for a
frame and that frame is no more valid. This seems to have created back
trace problems for ppc64.
- This patch fixes it up. The very first thing it does after entering
crash_kexec() is to capture the register states. Anyway we don't want the
back trace beyond crash_kexec(). crash_get_current_regs() has been made
inline
- crash_setup_regs() is the top architecture dependent function which should
be responsible for capturing the register states as well as to do some
architecture dependent tricks. For ex. fixing up ss and esp for i386.
crash_setup_regs() has also been made inline to ensure no new call frame is
