Since RISC-V Linux v6.4, the commit3335068f87("riscv: Use PUD/P4D/PGD pages for the linear mapping") changes phys_ram_base from the physical start of the kernel to the actual start of the DRAM. The Crash-utility's VTOP() still uses phys_ram_base and kernel_map.virt_addr to translate kernel virtual address, that failed the Crash with Linux v6.4 [1]. Export kernel_map.va_kernel_pa_offset in vmcoreinfo to help Crash translate the kernel virtual address correctly.

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 Restructured Text 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.
