From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@xxxxxx> This is preparation for allowing CRASH_CORE to be enabled for any architecture. swapper_pg_dir is always either an array or a macro expanding to NULL. In the latter case, VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL() won't work, as it tries to take the address of the given symbol: #define VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL(name) \ vmcoreinfo_append_str("SYMBOL(%s)=%lx\n", #name, (unsigned long)&name) Instead, use VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL_ARRAY(), which uses the value: #define VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL_ARRAY(name) \ vmcoreinfo_append_str("SYMBOL(%s)=%lx\n", #name, (unsigned long)name) This is the same thing for the array case but isn't an error for the macro case.
