From 4893fc8856a81d2037c1c976cb320be6f00e84a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corey Minyard Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 19:41:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mips: reserve elfcorehdr /proc/vmcore wasn't showing up in kdump kernels. It turns that that for Octeon, the memory used by elfcorehdr wasn't being set aside properly and it was getting clobbered before /proc/vmcore could get it. So reserve the memory if it shows up in a memory area managed by the kernel.
