Re: [PATCH v2] x86, kaslr: export offset in VMCOREINFO ELF notes

[Andrew Honig]

The purpose of this patch to make it easier for processing offline
kdump files for crash analysis.  For context on the see this thread
for a patch in progress
(http://www.mail-archive.com/crash-utility@xxxxxxxxxx/msg04640.html)

_stext doesn't quite work for this purpose because in my testing it
doesn't exactly match the kaslr offset, for some reason _stext is a
few hundred bytes after the kaslr offset.  The number doesn't appear
consistent and I would prefer not to take a dependency on that.
