* Russell King [off-list ref] [180601 11:02]:

Executing loops such as:

	while (1)
		cpu_relax();

with interrupts disabled results in a livelock of the entire system,
as other CPUs are prevented making progress.  This is most noticable
as a failure of crashdump kexec, which stops just after issuing:

	Loading crashdump kernel...

to the system console.  Two other locations of these loops within the
ARM code have been identified and fixed up.

Works for me thanks:

BTW, do LZMA crashkernels boot for you with crashdump?

For me LZMA crashkernels fail to boot while GZIP crashkernels
boots. Some more info below for failing and working output.

Regards,

Tony
