From: Luo Haiyang <luo.haiyang at zte.com.cn>

On RISC-V, due to the kernel image being additionally exported
in /proc/iomem, the kernel memory range is not correctly handled
by to_be_excluded.

Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] kexec-tool:bug fix for crashdump load on riscv
From: Luo Haiyang <luo.haiyang at zte.com.cn>

This patchset fixes kexec-tool related to crashdump load on riscv

patch 1: crashload should use all system RAM but crash reserved memory.
patch 2: make the phys_to_virt function return the correct value.
patch 3: vmcore-dmesg accesses the address located in the bss segment,
use kernel image to creat kernel text elf header.
patch 4: due to the kernel image being additionally exported in /proc/iomem,
the kernel memory range is not correctly handled by to_be_excluded.

Changes from v2:
- use kernel image to creat kernel text elf header
- do not exclude kernel memory range
- https://lore.kernel.org/kexec/20260518145742805S2A5Zwk9KwoEtGDh4p3Pl@zte.com.cn/T/#md89827a089395745d3bd361889e4f3c490641732

Changes from v1:
- Add patch 2 and patch 3 to fix other bug
- https://lore.kernel.org/kexec/20260513171150519t11GTC14QEEV4EgIurNHM@zte.com.cn/T/#u

Luo Haiyang (4):
RISC-V: fix crashdump load memory ranges
RISCV: Fix incorrect virtual address translation in crashdump load
RISC-V: use kernel image to creat kernel text elf header
RISC-V: kernel image memory rang should not be excluded
