From 85916f8166b59eeac63d2b4f7f1df8de849334b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Magnus Damm Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2006 20:40:41 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Kexec / Kdump: Unify elf note code The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several architectures. This cleanup patch simply adds code to a common file and then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code. The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.
