Subject: [GIT pull] x86/mm updates for 4.16
Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 14:53:35 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.20.1801291450130.1849@nanos> (raw)

Linus,

please pull the latest x86-mm-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-mm-for-linus

A single patch which excludes the GART aperture from vmcore as accessing
that area from a dump kernel can crash the kernel. Not necessarily the
nicest way to fix this, but curing this from ground up requires a more
thorough rewrite of the whole kexec/kdump magic.

Thanks,

	tglx
