The story is that I used to work on kdump, but handed it off
to Geoff at some time. Since then, he merged it into his repo
but I don't think that he has tested (verified) it yet.
So please take it as a study work (or prototype), although I'm
pretty sure that it works well on model except some issues.

Regarding /proc/vmcore, if you can retrieve it to your host machine,
you can simply verify the contents as follows:
   $ aarch64-linux-gnu-gdb vmlinux core(=vmcore)
   (gdb) info threads
   (gdb) bt
    ...

I also have a trivial patch for crash tool to cross-build it, but
arm64 support (by RedHat folk) is already there.

Thanks,
