Hi Dave

 

I have problems with the line (in arm.c)

    machdep->kvbase = symbol_value("_stext") & 0xffff0000UL;

 

In the latest kernels this does not give the correct value. If I change it to the x86 implementation:

   machdep->kvbase = symbol_value("_stext") & ~KVBASE_MASK;

where KVBASE_MASK is defined in defs.h

    #define KVBASE_MASK        (0x1ffffff)

Then things work as they should, both on the newer and the older kernels. Without this patch crash complains that vmcore and vmlinux does not match and stops.
