Add arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo(), which exports VM layout(MODULES, VMALLOC, VMEMMAP ranges and KERNEL_LINK_ADDR), va bits and ram base for vmcore. Default pagetable levels and PAGE_OFFSET aren't same for different kernel version as below. For pagetable levels, it sets sv57 by default and falls back to setting sv48 at boot time if sv57 is not supported by the hardware. For ram base, the default value is 0x80200000 for qemu riscv64 env and, for example, is 0x200000 on the XuanTie 910 CPU. * Linux Kernel 5.18 ~ * PGTABLE_LEVELS = 5 * PAGE_OFFSET = 0xff60000000000000 * Linux Kernel 5.17 ~ * PGTABLE_LEVELS = 4 * PAGE_OFFSET = 0xffffaf8000000000 * Linux Kernel 4.19 ~ * PGTABLE_LEVELS = 3 * PAGE_OFFSET = 0xffffffe000000000 Since these configurations change from time to time and version to version, it is preferable to export them via vmcoreinfo than to change the crash's code frequently, it can simplify the development of crash tool.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
