Dear Maintaniners, Sorry for attaching a not readable patch file at previous mail. I add the diff of the patch inline for your review.

And provide the reason of improvement again and look forward for your feedback. We want to improve the crash_tool for the case that need offline cpu register info even Kdump without crash_notes. For one thing, we will prepare a Kdump with all CPU register info in ELF note.

For another thing, we need to modify crash_tool and make it support adding offline cpu register info even Kdump without crash_notes.

Dear Kazuhito, Sorry for late reply and mail with html format Our patch was implemented and verified with our kedump.

We will resend a mail to upstream it and refine mail title as "arm64: Get CPU registers without crash_notes symbol"? About your suggestion that it could be united with the code when crash_notes exists, we will try it when we can generate a kedump with crash_note So we want to upstream current patch first, hope you can accept it.

Just to clarify, is this not implemented yet? So currently the subject should be something like "arm64: Get CPU registers without crash_notes symbol"? As for the patch itself, I'm fine with it, although it looks like maybe it can be united with the code when crash_notes exists.
