Subject: [PATCH] arm64: crash_core: Export MODULES, VMALLOC, and VMEMMAP ranges
Date: Wed,  9 Feb 2022 09:26:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220209092642.9181-1-shijie@os.amperecomputing.com> (raw)

The following interrelated ranges are needed by the kdump crash tool:
	MODULES_VADDR ~ MODULES_END,
	VMALLOC_START ~ VMALLOC_END,
	VMEMMAP_START ~ VMEMMAP_END

Since these values change from time to time, it is preferable to export
them via vmcoreinfo than to change the crash's code frequently.

+Used to get the correct ranges:

+	VMALLOC_START ~ VMALLOC_END-1 : vmalloc() / ioremap() space.
+	VMEMMAP_START ~ VMEMMAP_END-1 : vmemmap region, used for struct page array.
