Basically, these should be exported as VMCOREINFO from kernel. But we cannot modify old kernels. Luckily, page flag values had frequently changed in old kernels, so on old kernels, it's relatively easy to determine appropreate page flags on a given kernel version without any symbol and type information. Specifically: - PG_slab has had the same value 7 since v2.6.15, and - PG_buddy had been defined as macro value from v2.6.17 to v2.6.26 On later kernel version, enum pageflags type was introduced and at the version, PG_buddy's value depends on CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTEND; luckily, this can be determined by looking at error_states array, for example, without any debugging information but I don't implement it in this patch because it's better to check if enum pageflags is present to simplify design.
