Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Add iomem resource for kernel bss section.
Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2017 12:50:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171012195034.5758-1-david.daney@cavium.com> (raw)

The kexec/kdump tools need to know where the .bss is so it can be
included in the core dump.  This allows vmcore-dmesg to have access to
the dmesg buffers of the crashed kernel as well as allowing the
debugger to examine variables in the bss section.

Add a request for the bss resource in addition to the already
requested code and data sections.
