An LPAR can be terminated by the POWER Hypervisor (PHYP) for various reasons. If FADump was configured when PHYP terminates the LPAR, platform-assisted dump is initiated to save the kernel dump. But CPU register data would not be processed/saved in the vmcore in such case because CPU mask is set in crash_fadump() at the time of kernel crash and it remains unset in this case with LPAR being terminated by PHYP abruptly. To get around the problem, initialize cpu_mask to cpu_possible_mask so as to ensure all possible CPUs' register data is processed for the vmcore generated on PHYP terminated LPAR. Also, rename the crash info member variable from online_mask to cpu_mask as it doesn't necessarily have to be online CPU mask always.

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.
