Dump (MPIPL) Device Tree Binding¶
See MPIPL (aka FADUMP) Overview for general MPIPL information.
dump node¶
dump {
/*
* Memory used by OPAL to load kernel/initrd from PNOR
* (KERNEL_LOAD_BASE & INITRAMFS_LOAD_BASE). This is the
* temporary memory used by OPAL during boot. Later Linux
* kernel is free to use this memory. During MPIPL boot
* also OPAL will overwrite this memory.
*
* OPAL will advertise these memory details to kernel.
* If kernel is using these memory and needs these memory
* content for proper dump creation, then it has to reserve
* destination memory to preserve these memory ranges.
* Also kernel should pass this detail during registration.
* During MPIPL firmware will take care of preserving memory
* and post MPIPL kernel can create proper dump.
