Coiby Xu 62f17d9df6 crash_dump: retrieve dm crypt keys in kdump kernel
Crash kernel will retrieve the dm crypt keys based on the dmcryptkeys
command line parameter.  When user space writes the key description to
/sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_key/restore, the crash kernel will save
the encryption keys to the user keyring.  Then user space e.g. 
cryptsetup's --volume-key-keyring API can use it to unlock the encrypted
device.

README

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 reStructuredText 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.
