Subject[RFC PATCH 06/10] fadump: Add PT_NOTE program header for vmcoreinfo
From
Date
From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Introduce a PT_NOTE program header that points to physical address of
vmcoreinfo_note buffer declared in kernel/kexec.c. The vmcoreinfo
note buffer is populated during crash_fadump() at the time of system
crash.
