Thanks for providing the kernel config to ease reproduction. In the config,
there are:
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
......
# CONFIG_MMU is not set
After investigation, I found this happened after Ignat's patch:
commit 1c7a3fa49ef7 ("kexec: drop dependency on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC from CRASH_DUMP")
Copy above commit change here for reference, and also risc-v's
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC depends on MMU:

config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
def_bool MMU
Before Ignat's patch, once CONFIG_MMU is unset, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP,
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, CONFIG_CRASH_CORE are all unset automatically. The
crash_core codes are not compiled. That's why no compiling error is
seen.
After Ignat's patch applied, we can enable CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP,
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, CONFIG_CRASH_CORE independently. However, there are
several macro definitions, such as VA_BITS, VMEMMAP_START, VMEMMAP_END,
MODULES_VADDR, MODULES_END are only available when CONFIG_MMU=y.
I made two patches to decouple the kexec/crash code with CONFIG_MMU. Not
sure if risc-v wants that.
Or we can simply add dependency on MMU for ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP.
Then when CONFIG_MMU=n, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP, CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE,
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE will be unset too. Please help check which one need be
taken.
