On crash, boot memory area is copied to a destination address by f/w. This region is setup as separate PT_LOAD segment with appropriate offset to handle the different physical address and offset in vmcore. If this destination address is not page aligned, reading the vmcore with mmap is likely to fail forcing tools like makedumpfile to fall back to regular read. Avoid mmap read failure by ensuring that the destination address is always page aligned.

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.
