I really don't like to see patches get a wholesale replacement, especially
when they've been looked at by a few people and have had some testing, etc.
It's not possible to see what changed and people need to re-review stuff
they've already reviewed, etc.

So I almost always undo this mess, turn the patches back into incremental
ones, see what pops out.

This patch is actually:


diff -puN arch/powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c~use-extended-crashkernel-command-line-on-ppc64-update arch/powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c
--- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c~use-extended-crashkernel-command-line-on-ppc64-update
+++ a/arch/powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c
@@ -63,7 +63,7 @@ NORET_TYPE void machine_kexec(struct kim

void __init reserve_crashkernel(void)
{
- unsigned long long crash_size = 0, crash_base;
+ unsigned long long crash_size, crash_base;
int ret;

/* this is necessary because of lmb_phys_mem_size() */
_

which I suspect will now create a compiler warning.


unsigned long long crash_size, crash_base;
int ret;

/* this is necessary because of lmb_phys_mem_size() */
lmb_analyze();
/* use common parsing */
ret = parse_crashkernel(boot_command_line, lmb_phys_mem_size(),
&crash_size, &crash_base);
if (ret == 0 && crash_size > 0) {
if (crash_base == 0)
crash_base = KDUMP_KERNELBASE;
crashk_res.start = crash_base;
} else {
/* handle the device tree */
crash_size = crashk_res.end - crashk_res.start + 1;
}
if (crash_size == 0)
return;
If so, the use of uninitialized_var() would be better than the unneeded
initialization-to-zero.
