Currently, almost all archs (x86, arm64, mips...) support fast call

RISC-V not, it can only enter crash system via panic(). However panic()
doesn't pass the regs of the real accident scene to crash_kexec(),
it caused we can't get accurate backtrace via gdb,

With the patch we can get the accurate backtrace,

Test code to produce NULL address dereference in test_crash.c,
    void *p = NULL;
    *(int *)p = 0xdead;

Thanks, this is on for-next.

Palmer, thanks for the reply,

Last week, I commit a series of patches(https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/7/17/64 <https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/7/17/64>), which contains this one.

This series of patches worked with crash-utility for RISCV64, Could you please review it?

We expect 5.19 could support crash-utility, it is a good functionality.

crash-utility patches for RISCV64:
