Subject: [PATCH] riscv: export kaslr offset and satp in VMCOREINFO ELF notes
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2026 18:31:19 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aXiF55y5D49gcpUg@adminpc-PowerEdge-R7525> (raw)
From: Austin Kim <austin.kim@lge.com>
The following options are required by the kdump crash utility for RISC-V
based vmcore file:
- kaslr: If the vmcore is generated from a KASLR-enabled Linux kernel,
the KASLR offset is required for the crash utility to load
the vmcore. Without the proper kaslr option, the crash utility
fails to load the vmcore file.
- satp: The exact root page table address helps determine the correct base
PGD address.
With this patch, RISC-V VMCOREINFO ELF notes now include both kaslr
and satp information.
