| Subject: Documentation: kdump: clean up the outdated description |
| Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2024 21:28:25 +0800 |
| |
| After commit 443cbaf9e2fd ("crash: split vmcoreinfo exporting code out |
| from crash_core.c"), Kconfig item CRASH_CORE has gone away in kernel. |
| Items VMCORE_INFO and CRASH_RESERVE are used instead. |
| |
| So clean up the outdated description about CRASH_CORE and update it |
| accordingly. |
