From 6b4b54c7ca347bcb4aa7a3cc01aa16e84ac7fbe4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Egorenkov egorenar@linux.ibm.com Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2022 11:25:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] s390/setup: preserve memory at OLDMEM_BASE and OLDMEM_SIZE
We need to preserve the values at OLDMEM_BASE and OLDMEM_SIZE which are used by zgetdump in case when kdump crashes. In that case zgetdump will attempt to read OLDMEM_BASE and OLDMEM_SIZE in order to find out where the memory range [0 - OLDMEM_SIZE] belonging to the production kernel is.
