01aaed9d43 [PATCH] powerpc: Trivial fix to set the proper timeout value for kdump
The panic CPU is waiting forever due to some large timeout value if some
CPU is not responding to an IPI.
This patch fixes the problem - the maximum waiting period will be
10 seconds and then the kdump boot will go ahead.

8385a6a3ac [PATCH] powerpc: Fix kdump copy regs and dynamic allocate per-cpu crash notes
- This contains the arch specific changes for the following the
kdump generic fixes which were already accepted in the upstream.
       .   Capturing CPU registers (for the case of 'panic' and invoking
the dump using 'sysrq-trigger') from a function (stack frame) which will
be not be available during the kdump boot. Hence, might result in
invalid stack trace.
       .   Dynamically allocating per cpu ELF notes section instead of
statically for NR_CPUS.

- Fix the compiler warning in prom_init.c.

This patch fixes the compilation error (shown below) when CONFIG_SMP=n.

cc53291521 [PATCH] powerpc: Add arch dependent basic infrastructure for Kdump.
Implementing the machine_crash_shutdown which will be called by
crash_kexec (called in case of a panic, sysrq etc.). Disable the
interrupts, shootdown cpus using debugger IPI and collect regs
for all CPUs.

elfcorehdr= specifies the location of elf core header stored by
the crashed kernel. This command line option will be passed by
the kexec-tools to capture kernel.

savemaxmem= specifies the actual memory size that the first kernel
has and this value will be used for dumping in the capture kernel.
This command line option will be passed by the kexec-tools to
capture kernel.
