From d34c5f26cf7de52a72ee064698817a5a39b91767 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mahesh Salgaonkar Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:14:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fadump: Add PT_NOTE program header for vmcoreinfo Introduce a PT_NOTE program header that points to physical address of vmcoreinfo_note buffer declared in kernel/kexec.c. The vmcoreinfo note buffer is populated during crash_fadump() at the time of system crash.
