Hi Bhupesh,
I'm on vacation and will be back next week.

Thanks,

> Commit 94c97db3fe859ca14d7b38b0ae9ee0ffb83689d2 (arm64: Get
> 'info->page_offset' from PT_LOAD segments to support KASLR boot cases)
> added a method to determine 'info->page_offset' from PT_LOAD segments
> for arm64 platforms.
> 
> In this commit we hardcoded the NOT_PADDR_ARM64 macro as
> 0x0000000010a80000UL which was a valid value on qualcomm-amberwing
> boards.
> 
> However, I was testing this change on several other arm64 boards
> like apm-mustang, huawei-taishan and hp-moonshot and saw that
> this value can vary on the basic of the "Kernel code" memory
> range placement.
> 
> To fix the same, this patchset uses a new approach. Since kernel
> version 4.19-rc5 (Commit
> 23c85094fe1895caefdd19ef624ee687ec5f4507 ["proc/kcore: add vmcoreinfo
> note to /proc/kcore"]), '/proc/kcore' contains a new
> PT_NOTE which carries the VMCOREINFO information.
> 
> If the same is available, we can use it for makedumpfile
> 'show_mem_usage()' and other functionality. This is especially useful
> for architectures like arm64 as we can get kernel symbols like
> 'VA_BITS' and 'kimage_voffset' from the '/proc/kcore' itself and use it
> to calculate 'info->page_offset' when we make a call to
> 'get_page_offset()'.
> 
> This VMCOREINFO note provides us a standard interface which can be
> leveraged while debugging live (or primary) kernel with makedumpfile
> (and other user-space tools), especially to derive the machine specific
> details (for e.g. VA_BITS, PHYS_OFFSET and kimage_voffset for arm64

> 
> I also verified the makedumpfile functionality in crash kernel with this

> Testing:
> --------
> 1. Architectures tested:
>    a) arm64 :- huawei-taishan, apm-mustang and qualcomm-amberwing boards.
>    b) x86_64 :- Dell optiplex workstation.
>       (NOTE that x86_64 makedumpfile --mem-usage use-case is currently
>       broken with upstream kernel, but I have debugged the root-cause
>       and will separately send a patch to fix the same).
> 
> 2. Use-cases tested:
>    a) Primary kernel ->
>       [] --mem-usage:
>          # makedumpfile -f --mem-usage /proc/kcore
> 
>       [] filtering use-case:
>          # makedumpfile --split -d 31 -x vmlinux --config scrub.conf vmcore dumpfile_{1,2,3}
> 
>       [] dumpfile creation:
>          # makedumpfile -d 31 -x vmlinux vmcore dumpfile
> 
>    b) Crash kernel ->
>       [] dumpfile creation:
>          # makedumpfile -l --message-level 31 -d 31 /proc/vmcore dump
> 
> 3. Kernel versions tested:
>    a) Kernel version 4.19-rc5 and above on both arm64 and x86_64.
>    b) Fedora 28 on x86_64.
>    c) Kernel version 4.14 on arm64.
