---Problem Description---
update makedumpfile to latest version v1.6.3 that officially supports
up to kernel version 4.14.8. Since makedumpfile is inherently backward 
compatible,
this would not break existing functionality..
 
Contact Information = [email protected] 
 
---uname output---
na
 
Machine Type = na 
 
---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured
 
---Steps to Reproduce---
 makedumpfile reports ""The kernel version is not supported" while generating 
vmcore
Also, there is a possibility of bogus address translations in makedumpfile tool 
with
missing upstream patches. Can't be so sure without an exhaustive testing. 
Instead,
it would be a good idea to go with the version which officially supports the 
kernel
version in question.
 
Userspace tool common name: makedumpfile 
 
The userspace tool has the following bit modes: 64-bit 

Userspace rpm: makedumpfile

Userspace tool obtained from project website:  na

With kernel version updated to 4.13.0, please update makedumpfile tool
version to 1.6.3 which officially supports up to kernel version 4.14.8 [1].

Thanks
