Palmer, thanks for the reply,

Last week, I commit a series of 
patches(https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/7/17/64 
<https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/7/17/64>), which contains this one.

This series of patches worked with crash-utility for RISCV64, Could you 
please review it?

We expect 5.19 could support crash-utility, it is a good functionality.

crash-utility patches for RISCV64:
