powerpc/fadump: setup additional parameters for dump capture kernel
For fadump case, passing additional parameters to dump capture kernel helps in minimizing the memory footprint for it and also provides the flexibility to disable components/modules, like hugepages, that are hindering the boot process of the special dump capture environment. Set up a dedicated parameter area to be passed to the capture kernel. This area type is defined as RTAS_FADUMP_PARAM_AREA. Sysfs attribute '/sys/kernel/fadump/bootargs_append' is exported to the userspace to specify the additional parameters to be passed to the capture kernel Signed-off-by: Hari Bathini <hbathini@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://msgid.link/20240509115755.519982-3-hbathini@linux.ibm.com
