[ Upstream commit 3f1901110a89b0e2e13adb2ac8d1a7102879ea98 ] Currently, almost all archs (x86, arm64, mips...) support fast call of crash_kexec() when "regs && kexec_should_crash()" is true. But 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, $ riscv64-linux-gnu-gdb vmlinux vmcore Reading symbols from vmlinux...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
