As previously mentioned, there are also many differences between kexec and kdump. In general,
kexec needs to look at all of available physical memory, but kdump doesn't need.

For kexec, kexec-tools will read /sys/firmware/memmap and recreate the e820 ranges for the 2nd
kernel. If it fails, will use /proc/iomem.

For kdump, kexec-tools will read /proc/iomem and recreate the e820 ranges for kdump kernel.
BTW: we can not get the range of persistent memory from /proc/iomem. So e820 ranges don't contain
the persistent memory in kdump kernel, this is the real reason why i need to strengthen the logic
of adjusting memory encryption mask.

If kexec-tools also use /sys/firmware/memmap for kdump(like kexec), kdump kernel can also work
without a fix, but the kexec-tools will have to be modified. Are you sure that you want me to
fix kexec-tools instead of kernel?


Thanks.
