Linux for sure is able to do that if configured to run
on top of Hyper-V

drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c:
static int hyperv_panic_event(struct notifier_block *nb,
                         unsigned long event, void *ptr)
{
         struct pt_regs *regs;

         regs = current_pt_regs();

         wrmsrl(HV_X64_MSR_CRASH_P0, regs->ip);
         wrmsrl(HV_X64_MSR_CRASH_P1, regs->ax);
         wrmsrl(HV_X64_MSR_CRASH_P2, regs->bx);
         wrmsrl(HV_X64_MSR_CRASH_P3, regs->cx);
         wrmsrl(HV_X64_MSR_CRASH_P4, regs->dx);

         /*
          * Let Hyper-V know there is crash data available
          */
         wrmsrl(HV_X64_MSR_CRASH_CTL, HV_CRASH_CTL_CRASH_NOTIFY);
         return NOTIFY_DONE;
}
