2021-03-22	arm64: kdump: update ppos when reading elfcorehdr	Pavel Tatashin
	The ppos points to a position in the old kernel memory (and in case of arm64 in the crash kernel since elfcorehdr is passed as a segment). The function should update the ppos by the amount that was read. This bug is not exposed by accident, but other platforms update this value properly. So, fix it in ARM64 version of elfcorehdr_read() as well.

2017-04-05	arm64: kdump: provide /proc/vmcore file	AKASHI Takahiro
	Arch-specific functions are added to allow for implementing a crash dump file interface, /proc/vmcore, which can be viewed as a ELF file. A user space tool, like kexec-tools, is responsible for allocating a separate region for the core's ELF header within crash kdump kernel memory and filling it in when executing kexec_load(). Then, its location will be advertised to crash dump kernel via a new device-tree property, "linux,elfcorehdr", and crash dump kernel preserves the region for later use with reserve_elfcorehdr() at boot time. On crash dump kernel, /proc/vmcore will access the primary kernel's memory with copy_oldmem_page(), which feeds the data page-by-page by ioremap'ing it since it does not reside in linear mapping on crash dump kernel. Meanwhile, elfcorehdr_read() is simple as the region is always mapped.
