From b3292e88e33677a90c18236fd895ace2d80efa3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amir Vadai Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2014 16:06:52 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] crash_dump: Make is_kdump_kernel() accessible from modules In order to make is_kdump_kernel() accessible from modules, need to make elfcorehdr_addr exported. This was rejected in the past [1] because reset_devices was prefered in that context (reseting the device in kdump kernel), but now there are some network drivers that need to reduce memory usage when loaded from a kdump kernel. And in that context, is_kdump_kernel() suits better. [1] - https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/27/341 CC: Vivek Goyal Signed-off-by: Amir Vadai Signed-off-by: David S.
