Kdump kernel, used for capturing the kernel core image, is supposed to use only specific memory regions to avoid corrupting the image to be captured. The regions are crashkernel range - the memory reserved explicitly for kdump kernel, memory used for the tce-table, the OPAL region and RTAS region as applicable. Restrict kdump kernel memory to use only these regions by setting up usable-memory DT property. Also, tell the kdump kernel to run at the loaded address by setting the magic word at 0x5c.

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.
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.
