Michael,
Since you're actively updating the s390 upstream kdump code, maybe you
could consider adding a "crashing_cpu", or even better, something like a
"crashing_task" variable?
Hmmm, that probably should be done in common code, no? Maybe adding this
information to vmcoreinfo would also be an option.
But I am not sure if I feel like having more kdump upstream discussions
at the moment :-)
