From: Austin Kim <austin.kim at lge.com>
The following options are required by the kdump crash utility for RISC-V
based vmcore file:
- kaslr: If the vmcore is generated from a KASLR-enabled Linux kernel,
the KASLR offset is required for the crash utility to load
the vmcore. Without the proper kaslr option, the crash utility
fails to load the vmcore file.
- satp: The exact root page table address helps determine the correct base
PGD address.
With this patch, RISC-V VMCOREINFO ELF notes now include both kaslr
and satp information.
