[RFC Patch 1/2] kexec: show memory info in /proc/iomem

From: Amerigo Wang
Date: Tue Aug 11 2009 - 08:07:31 EST



This patch implements showing kexec memory area via /proc/iomem.
For example, with this patch we can see:

# cat /proc/iomem
...
00100000-7ffeffff : System RAM
01000000-012e1424 : Kernel code
012e1425-015f1aff : Kernel data
0166b000-01b4b88f : Kernel bss
02000000-083fffff : Crash kernel
02000000-028fffff : Used
02900000-083fffff : Unused
...

So that user can know how much memory the kernel uses for crash kernel.
