Yes, Android12-GKI kernel version 5.10.

Thanks

The macro SECTION_SIZE_BITS has changed since kernel version 5.12, see:

kernel commit: f0b13ee23241 ("arm64/sparsemem: reduce SECTION_SIZE_BITS")

crash commit: 8246dce99dd2 ("arm64: Update SECTION_SIZE_BITS for kernels
 >= 5.12")


And later kernel exported the SECTION_SIZE_BITS in kernel version
v5.13-rc7~20^2~10:

kernel commit: 4f5aecdff25f ("crash_core, vmcoreinfo: append
'SECTION_SIZE_BITS' to vmcoreinfo")


Crash-utility also reads the value from vmcoreinfo as below:

         if (arm64_get_vmcoreinfo(&machdep->section_size_bits,
"NUMBER(SECTION_SIZE_BITS)", NUM_DEC))

So I'm wondering if this issue occurs on older kernels(e.g. 5.12 or
earlier), and probably introduced some latest kernel patches(such as
kernel commit f0b13ee23241) to the old kernel. Just want to confirm this.

The IKCONFIG may not be set for many distributions, but this looks like
it works well in your cases.


Thanks.
