Hello,
I tried running crash-head (HEAD: 5d172b230cf4) against today's linus'
master on a dump obtained via dump-guest-memory in qemu. And I got the
following when the image is loaded:
please wait... (determining panic task)

So the kernel has been compiled with : gcc (Ubuntu
5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9) 5.4.0 20160609 which has retpoline enabled.
I have KASLR disabled: # CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is not set and the kernel
is compiled with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y .
This scenario used to work around the 4.10 timeline. Am I doing
something wrong or crash still needs time to work on the latest upstream
kernel code?
