[PATCH 1/2] kdump: vmcore: move copy_to() from vmcore.c to uaccess.h

From: Tiezhu Yang
Date: Fri Dec 10 2021 - 08:36:53 EST


In arch/*/kernel/crash_dump*.c, there exist similar code about
copy_oldmem_page(), move copy_to() from vmcore.c to uaccess.h,
and then we can use copy_to() to simplify the related code.
