[PATCH] vmcoreinfo: export SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP
From: David Hildenbrand (Arm)
Date: Mon Sep 28 2026 - 04:50:02 EST
The crash tool currently hardcodes SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP, and makedumpfile
needs similar information (although still relying on
SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT, it should switch to SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP).
Let's just export the value instead, so tools that work on vmcoreinfo
will not have to guess.

Result of the discussion in reply to "[PATCH v2 00/13] mm/sparse: remove
SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT and further cleanups" [1]
This patch can go in independently. It would be preferable if both
go into the same kernel release ;)
