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

The kexec shows the following crashdump log:

Elf header: p_type = 1, p_offset = 0x80100000 p_paddr = 0x80100000 p_vaddr = 0xcff000 ...
Elf header: p_type = 1, p_offset = 0x100000000 p_paddr = 0x100000000 p_vaddr = 0x80bff000 ...
Elf header: p_type = 1, p_offset = 0x87ffff000 p_paddr = 0x87ffff000 p_vaddr = 0x800bfe000 ...

Obviously, phys_to_virt returns an incorrect virtual address (vaddr). On the RISC-V architecture,
the linear address mapping is defined as:
va = pa + kernel_map.va_pa_offset (kernel_map.va_pa_offset = PAGE_OFFSET - phys_ram_base)
Both PAGE_OFFSET and phys_ram_base can be read from /proc/kcore.
