Folks

The Linux kernel commit b9f174c811e3ae4ae8959dc57e6adb9990e913f4 
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b9f174c811e3ae4ae8959dc57e6adb9990e913f4)
 added an ELF section for the ORC version identifier.  I think the crash 
utility should use this section to identify the ORC version in use.

I want to implement this feature in the crash utility.  As I understand it, we 
would need to read the kernel binary first, find out whether it has .orc_header 
section and then read the section to figure out the version of the ORC format 
in use.

I do not have familiarity with the code for the crash utility.  Is it possible 
for someone to advise on whether the above sounds reasonable?  If yes, then how 
to divide the functionality among the files?  If no, then what would a 
reasonable to have this functionality?

Thanks!
