From: Amal Raj T <amalrajt@xxxxxxxx> This patch set introduces a new custom query packet, `qlinux.vmcoreinfo`, to kgdb. This packet retrieves kernel's vmcoreinfo text, which contains crucial debugging information such as the KASLR offset, kernel release, `phys_base` etc. This implementation includes a new binary-encoder (`mem2ebin`) instead of the existing hex-encoder (`mem2hex`) to reduce the amount of data sent over the wire. These changes also move the LF -> CRLF replacement logic from serial drivers to KDB, since KDB is the only user of this logic, and the existing replacement results in incorrect checksums generated by KGDB.
