Linux kernel for uConsole
3db3eb2852
Xen PV domains cannot shut down and start a crash kernel. Instead, the crashing kernel makes a SCHEDOP_shutdown hypercall with the reason code SHUTDOWN_crash, cf. xen_crash_shutdown() machine op in arch/x86/xen/enlighten_pv.c. A crash kernel reservation is merely a waste of RAM in this case. It may also confuse users of kexec_load(2) and/or kexec_file_load(2). When flags include KEXEC_ON_CRASH or KEXEC_FILE_ON_CRASH, respectively, these syscalls return success, which is technically correct, but the crash kexec image will never be actually used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
