Hi Andrew,
Thank you for the comments, I updated the patch.

Yes, makedumpfile can do it. Moreover it can generate kdump files which
don't have free pages or zero-filled pages too.

OK. I added __attribute__ ((format (printf, 1, 2))) to the defination
for vmcoreinfo_append_str(), and I fixed the coding problems related
to this change.

OK, I confirmed that the attached patch does not have any problems
by scripts/checkpatch.pl.

You are right. In the attached patch, both vmcoreinfo_max_size and
vmcoreinfo_size are defined as size_t.

OK, I fixed it as you said.

OK, I fixed it as you said.
