[PATCHv5 0/2] x86/boot/KASLR: skip the specified crashkernel region

From: Pingfan Liu
Date: Tue May 07 2019 - 00:33:01 EST


crashkernel=x@y or or =range1:size1[,range2:size2,...]@offset option may
fail to reserve the required memory region if KASLR puts kernel into the
region. To avoid this uncertainty, asking KASLR to skip the required
region.
And the parsing routine can be re-used at this early boot stage.

v3 -> v4:
reuse the parse_crashkernel_xx routines
v4 -> v5:
drop unnecessary initialization of crash_base in [2/2]

kernel/crash_core: separate the parsing routines to
lib/parse_crashkernel.c
x86/boot/KASLR: skip the specified crashkernel region
