a remote system.
Kdump and kexec are currently supported on the x86, x86_64, ppc64, ia64,
-s390x and arm architectures.
+s390x, arm and arm64 architectures.
When the system kernel boots, it reserves a small section of memory for
the dump-capture kernel. This ensures that ongoing Direct Memory Access

+Dump-capture kernel config options (Arch Dependent, arm64)
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+- Please note that kvm of the dump-capture kernel will not be enabled
+ on non-VHE systems even if it is configured. This is because the CPU
+ will not be reset to EL2 on panic.

Extended crashkernel syntax
===========================
kernel will automatically locate the crash kernel image within the
first 512MB of RAM if X is not given.
+ On arm64, use "crashkernel=Y[@X]". Note that the start address of
+ the kernel, X if explicitly specified, must be aligned to 2MiB (0x200000).
Load the Dump-capture Kernel
============================
- Use image or bzImage
For arm:
- Use zImage
+For arm64:
+ - Use vmlinux or Image
If you are using a uncompressed vmlinux image then use following command
to load dump-capture kernel.
For arm:
"1 maxcpus=1 reset_devices"
+For arm64:
+ "1 maxcpus=1 reset_devices"
+
Notes on loading the dump-capture kernel:
* By default, the ELF headers are stored in ELF64 format to support
