I mean that i will write the value of local variable to the vmcoreinfo. For example:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/machine_kexec_64.c b/arch/x86/kernel/machine_kexec_64.c
index 4c8acdfdc5a7..3cc975e7ff8f 100644

 #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA

        VMCOREINFO_LENGTH(node_data, MAX_NUMNODES);

Because the crash kernel's page table(pgd/pud/pmd/pte) contains
the memory encryption mask(bit 47), makedumpfile needs to remove
the sme mask to obtain the true physical address.
