x86, kdump: Retore crashkernel= to allocate under 896M
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Vivek found old kexec-tools does not work new kernel anymore.

So change back crashkernel= back to old behavoir, and add crashkernel_high=
to let user decide if buffer could be above 4G, and also new kexec-tools will
be needed.

-v2: let crashkernel=X override crashkernel_high=
    update description about _high will be ignored by crashkernel=X
-v3: update description about kernel-parameters.txt according to Vivek.

crashkernel_high=size[KMG]
[KNL, x86_64] range could be above 4G. Allow kernel
to allocate physical memory region from top, so could
be above 4G if system have more than 4G ram installed.
Otherwise memory region will be allocated below 4G, if
available.
It will be ignored if crashkernel=X is specified.
crashkernel_low=size[KMG]
[KNL, x86_64] range under 4G. When crashkernel= is
passed, kernel allocate physical memory region
[KNL, x86_64] range under 4G. When crashkernel_high= is
passed, kernel could allocate physical memory region
above 4G, that cause second kernel crash on system
that require some amount of low memory, e.g. swiotlb
requires at least 64M+32K low memory. Kernel would
try to allocate 72M below 4G automatically.
This one let user to specify own low range under 4G
for second kernel instead.
0: to disable low allocation.
It will be ignored when crashkernel_high=X is not used
or memory reserved is below 4G.
