Bug description:
  Thank you for reading this report.
  This may caused by bugs in kernel, not in kdump. If so, I will report this to 
kernel team.
  I need your comment to solve this.

  [Impact]
  * Kdump kernel can't be loaded using linux kernel 4.15.0-76.

  [Environment]
  Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
  Release:        18.04

  uname:
  Linux ubuntu 4.15.0-76-generic #86-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 17 17:24:28 UTC 2020 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Secure boot is enabled.

  Versions:
  * kexec-tools/bionic-updates,now 1:2.0.16-1ubuntu1.1
  * kdump-tools/bionic-updates,now 1:1.6.5-1ubuntu1~18.04.4

  [Test case]
  1)After OS booted, run systemctl status kdump-tools shows these messages 
below:

  ....
  ● kdump-tools.service - Kernel crash dump capture service
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/kdump-tools.service; enabled; vendor 
preset: enabled)
     Active: active (exited) since Fri 2020-03-27 16:40:31 JST; 5min ago
    Process: 895 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/kdump-tools start (code=exited, 
status=0/SUCCESS)
   Main PID: 895 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

  Mar 27 16:40:31 ubuntu systemd[1]: Starting Kernel crash dump capture

  ....

  2)Run kexec directly:
  $ sudo /sbin/kexec -p --command-line="/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-76-generic 
root=UUID=29a89ad8-8923-435e-a88c-aaf5cb379568 ro mce=ignore_ce reset_devices 
systemd.unit=kdump-tools-dump.service nr_cpus=1 irqpoll nousb 
ata_piix.prefer_ms_hyperv=0" --initrd=/boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-76-generic 
/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-64-generic

  Then,these messages are shown:
  Cannot open /proc/kcore: Operation not permitted
  Cannot read /proc/kcore: Operation not permitted
  Cannot load /boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-76-generic

  On dmesg, these messages are shown:
  ....
  [  538.524718] Lockdown: /proc/kcore is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7
  ....

  3) Changing OS kernel to older one(I used 4.15.0-64), kdump kernel can
  be loaded.

  $ sudo systemctl status kdump-tools
