From 5ded01e83ec3b60191b03b9f88f53acd4e6112f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 14:57:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] kexec: x86_64: vmlinux: fix physical addresses The vmlinux on x86_64 does not report the correct physical address of the kernel. Instead in the physical address field it currently reports the virtual address of the kernel. This is patch is a bug fix that corrects vmlinux to report the proper physical addresses. This is potentially a help for crash dump analysis tools. This definitiely allows bootloaders that load vmlinux as a standard ELF executable. Bootloaders directly loading vmlinux become of practical importance when we consider the kexec on panic case.
