Currently in x86_64, the symbol address of phys_base is exported to vmcoreinfo. Dave Anderson complained this is really useless for his Crash implementation. Because in user-space utility Crash and Makedumpfile which exported vmcore information is mainly used for, value of phys_base is needed to covert virtual address of exported kernel symbol to physical address. Especially init_level4_pgt, if we want to access and go over the page table to look up a PA corresponding to VA, firstly we need calculate page_dir = SYMBOL(init_level4_pgt) - __START_KERNEL_map + phys_base; Now in Crash and Makedumpfile, we have to analyze the vmcore elf program header to get value of phys_base. As Dave said, it would be preferable if it were readily availabl in vmcoreinfo rather than depending upon the PT_LOAD semantics. Hence in this patch change to export the value of phys_base instead of its virtual address. And people also complained that KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE exporting is x86_64 only, should be moved into arch dependent function arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo. Do the moving in this patch.
