[Crash-utility] [PATCH] CONFIG_SPARSEMEM for s390(x)
Hi Dave,
When starting crash on s390(x) with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM enabled we get the
following error message:
crash: CONFIG_SPARSEMEM kernels not supported for this architecture
The following patch fixes this problem, but I am not sure, if I set
_MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to the correct value (I used 31 for s390 and 64 for
s390x). Could you please explain the meaning of _MAX_PHSYSMEM_BITS?
