* [PATCH] powerpc: Trivial fix to set the proper timeout value for kdumpHaren Myneni2006-02-241-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | The panic CPU is waiting forever due to some large timeout value if some CPU is not responding to an IPI. This patch fixes the problem - the maximum waiting period will be 10 seconds and then the kdump boot will go ahead.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Fix kdump copy regs and dynamic allocate per-cpu crash notesHaren Myneni2006-01-151-72/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - This contains the arch specific changes for the following the kdump generic fixes which were already accepted in the upstream. . Capturing CPU registers (for the case of 'panic' and invoking the dump using 'sysrq-trigger') from a function (stack frame) which will be not be available during the kdump boot. Hence, might result in invalid stack trace. . Dynamically allocating per cpu ELF notes section instead of statically for NR_CPUS. - Fix the compiler warning in prom_init.c.

* [PATCH] powerpc: fix for compile problem in kdump code when SMP disabledHaren Myneni2006-01-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the compilation error (shown below) when CONFIG_SMP=n. arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c: In function `crash_kexec_prepare_cpus': arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c:236: error: implicit declaration of function `smp_release_cpus' Signed-off-by: Haren Myneni <haren@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [PATCH] powerpc: Add arch dependent basic infrastructure for Kdump.Michael Ellerman2006-01-091-0/+264
Implementing the machine_crash_shutdown which will be called by crash_kexec (called in case of a panic, sysrq etc.). Disable the interrupts, shootdown cpus using debugger IPI and collect regs for all CPUs. elfcorehdr= specifies the location of elf core header stored by the crashed kernel. This command line option will be passed by the kexec-tools to capture kernel. savemaxmem= specifies the actual memory size that the first kernel has and this value will be used for dumping in the capture kernel. This command line option will be passed by the kexec-tools to capture kernel.
