>           (arch/arm64/kernel/crash_core.c).
> Patch 3: Add modules to virtual kernel memory layout dump.
> Patch 4: Fixup to get correct kernel mode PC for vmcore.
> Patch 5: Updates vmcoreinfo.rst.
> Patch 6: Fixup schedule out issue in machine_crash_shutdown()

> With these six patches(patch 2 is must), crash tool can work well to analyze
