[PATCH v4 2/3] arm64/crash_core: Export TCR_EL1.T1SZ in vmcoreinfo

vabits_actual variable on arm64 indicates the actual VA space size, and allows a single binary to support both 48-bit and 52-bit VA spaces. If the ARMv8.2-LVA optional feature is present, and we are running with a 64KB page size; then it is possible to use 52-bits of address space for both userspa

[PATCH v4 1/3] crash_core, vmcoreinfo: Append 'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS' to vmcoreinfo

Right now user-space tools like 'makedumpfile' and 'crash' need to rely on a best-guess method of determining value of 'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS' supported by underlying kernel. This value is used in user-space code to calculate the bit-space required to store a section for SPARESMEM (similar to the exist

[PATCH v4 0/3] Append new variables to vmcoreinfo (TCR_EL1.T1SZ for arm64 and MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS for all archs)

Changes since v3: - v3 can be seen here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2019-March/022590.html - Addressed comments from James and exported TCR_EL1.T1SZ in vmcoreinfo instead of PTRS_PER_PGD. - Added a new patch (via [PATCH 3/3]), which fixes a simple typo in 'Doc
