Linux kernel source tree

s390 allocates+prepares the elfcore hdr in the dump (2nd) kernel, not in the crashed kernel. RAM provided by memory devices such as virtio-mem can only be detected using the device driver; when vmcore_init() is called, these device drivers are usually not loaded yet, or the devices did not get probed yet. Consequently, on s390 these RAM ranges will not be included in the crash dump, which makes the dump partially corrupt and is unfortunate. Instead of deferring the vmcore_init() call, to an (unclear?) later point, let's reuse the vmcore_cb infrastructure to obtain device RAM ranges as the device drivers probe the device and get access to this information. Then, we'll add these ranges to the vmcore, adding more PT_LOAD entries and updating the offsets+vmcore size. Use a separate Kconfig option to be set by an architecture to include this code only if the arch really needs it. Further, we'll make the config depend on the relevant drivers (i.e., virtio_mem) once they implement support (next). The alternative of having a PROVIDE_PROC_VMCORE_DEVICE_RAM config option was dropped for now for simplicity. The current target use case is s390, which only creates an elf64 elfcore, so focusing on elf64 is sufficient.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
