Public bug reported:
[Impact]
Crash dump support doesn't work by default on any known arm64 platform. Users
have to figure out working incantations for the crashkernel= parameter and the
parameters passed to the crash-dump kernel themselves and manual edit 2
different config files.
[Test Case]
Using either a Centriq 2400 or a Cavium ThunderX CRB (these platforms are known
to support crashdump), and with a kernel >= 4.13 (xenial-ga did not support
crashdump):
sudo apt install kdump-tools
(reboot, so crashkernel= is added to the kernel commandline)
echo c | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger
Crash dump should occur, with artifacts collected in /var/crash.
If you want to verify that the dump is usable, install the corresponding
linux-image-<ver>-dbgsym package and run:
sudo crash /usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux-<ver>
/var/crash/<crash>/dump.<crash>
crash should successfully load, placing you at a "crash>" prompt. At that
prompt, you can issue the 'bt' command to see a backtrace.
Note: you need crash from zesty (7.1.8-1ubuntu1) or later.
[Regression Risk]
