From 69f58384791ac6da4165ce8e6defd6f408f4afdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baoquan He Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2016 15:04:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "kdump, vmcoreinfo: report memory sections virtual addresses" This reverts commit 0549a3c02efb ("kdump, vmcoreinfo: report memory sections virtual addresses"). Commit 0549a3c02efb tells the userspace utility makedumpfile the randomized base address of these memmory sections when mm kaslr is enabled. However the following patch "kexec: export the value of phys_base instead of symbol address" makes makedumpfile not need these addresses any more. Besides we should use VMCOREINFO_NUMBER to export the value of the variable so that we can use the existing number_table mechanism of Makedumpfile to fetch it. So revert it now. If needed we can add it later. http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2016-October/017540.html Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1478568596-30060-1-git-send-email-bhe@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Baoquan He Cc: Thomas Garnier Cc: Baoquan He Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: "H .
