Bug Description
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
Users of ppc64el hardware need the ability to use crashdumps to do kernel debugging.
[Test Case]
Taken from:
https:/
https:/
1) apt-get install linux-crashdump
2) increase crashdump size:
sudo vim /etc/default/
set crashkernel=1024M
sudo update-grub
3) reboot the machine
4) sudo sed -i 's/USE_
5) kdump-config show # should return no errors
6) echo 'c' | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger
7) This should crash the machine and we should kexec into another kernel to dump the core, then on the next reboot we should see a crash in /var/crash/*
[Regression Potential]
Part of the fix involves adding a NEW package for ppc64el to allow linux-crashdump binary package to be built from linux-meta.
