From 4ae362be509306eafa6441603686d33fefe321c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2006 20:51:50 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] kdump: read previous kernel's memory - Moving the crash_dump.c file to arch dependent part as kmap_atomic_pfn is specific to i386 and highmem may not exist in other archs. - Use ioremap for x86_64 to map the previous kernel memory. - In copy_oldmem_page(), we now directly copy to the user/kernel buffer and avoid the unneccesary copy to a kmalloc'd page.
