kexec-tools commit 61b8c79b0fb7 ("arm64/crashdump-arm64: deduce the paddr of _text") tries to deduce the paddr of _text, but turns out partially. That commit is based on "The Image must be placed text_offset bytes from a 2MB aligned base address anywhere in usable system RAM and called there" in linux/Documentation/arm64/booting.rst, plus text_offset field is zero. But in practice, some boot loaders does not obey the convention, and still boots up the kernel successfully. Revisiting kernel commit e2a073dde921 ("arm64: omit [_text, _stext) from permanent kernel mapping"), the kernel code size changes from (unsigned long)__init_begin - (unsigned long)_text to (unsigned long)__init_begin - (unsigned long)_stext And it should be a better factor to decide which label starts the "Kernel code" in /proc/iomem.
