I encountered the following error while makedumpfile without enableing
kernel CONFIG_PROC_KCORE and CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL, this error only exists
before commit 29fe506 (kexec: make -a the default), this commit change
from kexec_load to kexec_file_load.
read_from_vmcore: Can't seek the dump memory(/proc/vmcore). (offset:
ffff800084f4c000) Invalid argument
readpage_elf: Can't read the dump memory(/proc/vmcore).
readmem: type_addr: 1, addr:41f29800, size:8
vaddr_to_paddr_arm64: Can't read pgd
readmem: Can't convert a virtual address(ffff800082edf8a0) to physical address.
readmem: type_addr: 0, addr:ffff800082edf8a0, size:390
check_release: Can't get the address of system_utsname.
Although several error messages appear when loading second kernel using kexec
without
kernel CONFIG_PROC_KCORE and CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL, but kexec return 0.
Can't open (/proc/kcore).
Can't get the symbol of _text to calculate page_offset.
Can't get the symbol of _text to calculate page_offset.
If kexec unable to get the _text address, it will result in
elf_info.kern_paddr_start
to be a large value, and also phdr->p_filesz/phdr->p_offset to be a large
value, such as:
readelf -l /proc/vmcore

This patch avoiding makedumpfile failure by ending the kexec process and
explicitly
notifying error.
