Nathan reported below building error: ===== $ curl -LSso .config https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/plain/community/linux-edge/config-edge.armv7 $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- olddefconfig all .. arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: arch/arm/kernel/machine_kexec.o: in function `arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo': machine_kexec.c:(.text+0x488): undefined reference to `vmcoreinfo_append_str' ==== On architecutres, like arm, s390, ppc, sh, function arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() is located in machine_kexec.c and it can only be compiled in when CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y. That's not right because arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() is used to export arch specific vmcoreinfo. CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO is supposed to control its compiling in. However, CONFIG_VMVCORE_INFO could be independent of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, e.g CONFIG_PROC_KCORE=y will select CONFIG_VMVCORE_INFO. Or CONFIG_KEXEC/CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is set while CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is not set, it will report linking error. So, on arm, s390, ppc and sh, move arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo out to a new file vmcore_info.c. Let CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO decide if compiling in arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo().
