The following interrelated definitions and ranges are needed by the kdump
crash tool, they are exported by "arch/riscv/kernel/crash_core.c":
    VA_BITS,
    PAGE_OFFSET,
    phys_ram_base,
    MODULES_VADDR ~ MODULES_END,
    VMALLOC_START ~ VMALLOC_END,
    VMEMMAP_START ~ VMEMMAP_END,
    KASAN_SHADOW_START ~ KASAN_SHADOW_END,
    KERNEL_LINK_ADDR ~ ADDRESS_SPACE_END

Document these RISCV64 exports above.

 Indicates whether the crashed kernel enabled SH extended mode.
+
+RISCV64
+=======
+
+VA_BITS
+-------
+
+The maximum number of bits for virtual addresses. Used to compute the
+virtual memory ranges.
+
+PAGE_OFFSET
+-----------
+
+Indicates the virtual kernel start address of direct-mapped RAM region.
+
+phys_ram_base
+-------------
+
+Indicates the start physical RAM address.

+MODULES_VADDR|MODULES_END|VMALLOC_START|VMALLOC_END|VMEMMAP_START|VMEMMAP_END|KASAN_SHADOW_START|KASAN_SHADOW_END|KERNEL_LINK_ADDR|ADDRESS_SPACE_END
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Used to get the correct ranges:
+
+  * MODULES_VADDR ~ MODULES_END : Kernel module space.
+  * VMALLOC_START ~ VMALLOC_END : vmalloc() / ioremap() space.
+  * VMEMMAP_START ~ VMEMMAP_END : vmemmap region, used for struct page array.
+  * KASAN_SHADOW_START ~ KASAN_SHADOW_END : kasan shadow space.
+  * KERNEL_LINK_ADDR ~ ADDRESS_SPACE_END : Kernel link and BPF space.
