Note that, OPAL firmware exports ibm,opal/dump node when FADump is supported on PowerNV platform. +On OPAL based machines, system first boots into an intermittent +kernel (referred to as petitboot kernel) before booting into the +capture kernel. This kernel would have minimal kernel and/or +userspace support to process crash data. Such kernel needs to +preserve previously crash'ed kernel's memory for the subsequent +capture kernel boot to process this crash data. Kernel config +option CONFIG_PRESERVE_FA_DUMP has to be enabled on such kernel +to ensure that crash data is preserved to process later. + Implementation details: -----------------------
Kernel config option CONFIG_PRESERVE_FA_DUMP is introduced to ensure crash data, from previously crash'ed kernel, is preserved. Update documentation with this details.
