From dc009d92435f99498cbc579ce76bf28e837e2c14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 14:57:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kexec: add kexec syscalls This patch introduces the architecture independent implementation the sys_kexec_load, the compat_sys_kexec_load system calls. Kexec on panic support has been integrated into the core patch and is relatively clean. In addition the hopefully architecture independent option crashkernel=size@location has been docuemented. It's purpose is to reserve space for the panic kernel to live, and where no DMA transfer will ever be setup to access.
