AFAIK any bootloader ported on IPQ SoCs and booting linux can access the system RAM. I mean s/uboot/bootloader here and in the commit log. Also which entity collects the post-crash data, is it some linux driver? If yes, can you add more details about it in the commit log.

Bootloader is the one which collects the post-crash data. Below is the flow System crash -> TZ -> Reset the system -> PBL -> SBL -> Bootloader, During system boot, crashdump magic is set. Upon system reboot cases, these magic values will be cleared. In the system crash scenarios like panic, the crashdump magic will not be cleared. Bootloader checks this value and collects the data and then reset the system.

In IPQ SoCs, U-boot will collect the system RAM contents upon crash for the post morterm analysis. If we don't reserve the memory region used by U-boot, obviously linux will consume it and upon next boot on crash, uboot will be loaded in the same region, which will lead to loose some of the data, sometimes we may miss out critical information. So lets reserve the region used by the U-boot. Similarly SBL copies some data into the reserved region and it will be used in the crash scenario. So reserve 1MB for SBL as well. While at it, drop the size padding in the smem memory region.
