The virtual memory information stored in os_info area is
required for creation of the kernel image PT_LOAD program
header for kernels since commit a2ec5bec56dd ("s390/mm:
uncouple physical vs virtual address spaces").
By contrast, if such information in os_info is absent the
PT_LOAD program header should not be created.
Currently the proper PT_LOAD program header is created for
kernels that contain the virtual memory information, but
for kernels without one an invalid header of zero size is
created. That in turn leads to stand-alone dump failures.
Use OS_INFO_KASLR_OFFSET variable to check whether os_info
is present or not (same as crash and makedumpfile tools do)
and based on that create or do not create the kernel image
PT_LOAD program header.

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 reStructuredText 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.
