From a3dd3323058d281abd584b15ad4c5b65064d7a61 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: WANG Cong Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:20:11 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] kexec: remove KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC is useless because we already save kernel messages inside /proc/vmcore, and it is unsafe to allow modules to do other stuffs in a crash dump scenario.
