Reminder.
This patch set is still applicable to v5.4-rc although there is one minor
conflict in a comment; It is trivial and can easily be fixed.
While this patch works on v5.4, we cannot read a generated core dump
file with crash command, even, of the latest v7.2.7. This is due to
a newly added 52-bit address support (and related changes in mm).
The issue, as a nature of kdump, does exist with *legacy*
(non-kexec_file_load-based) kdump, too.
(We will need a kernel patch as well as patches on crash to fix the issue
and some guys have already been working.)
So I'd like to request you to keep reviewing my patch.
Thanks,
