Perhaps you can take inspiration from devcd_readv() here?

Afaict data_left denotes the amount of data left in this particular
segment, rather than in the entire core.

I think you should start by making bytes_left the minimum of the core
size and @count and then have this loop as long as bytes_left, copying
data to the buffer either from header or an appropriate segment based on
the current offset.

This can live on the stack, unless you follow my suggestion below...

ehdr is unused.

I can help feeling that if you vmalloc() either the header or the entire
thing depending on DEFAULT vs INLINE and populate it with either all
segments or just the header, then you should be able to use the same
(custom) read function to serve both cases.

You should by doing this be able to avoid some duplication, your two
code paths would not diverge and the main difference would be if you
wait or not below (the kfree would have to go in the rproc_free_dump).

This is only used within remoteproc_coredump.c, so please move it there.

How about rproc_coredump_mechanism?

I think this better belong inside remoteproc_coredump.c
