[PATCH 0/2] powerpc/kexec: automatically allocating mem for crashkernel=Y

From: Pingfan Liu <hidden>
Date: 2018-08-31 07:30:46

If no start address is specified for crashkernel, the current program hard
code as: crashk_res.start = min(0x8000000ULL, (ppc64_rma_size / 2));
This limits the candidate memory region, and may cause failure while there
is enough mem for crashkernel. This patch suggests to find a suitable mem
chunk by memblock_find_in_range()

    early_init_dt_scan_cpus()
  powerpc/kexec: avoid hard coding when automatically allocating mem for
        crashkernel
