x86/crash: Define arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() if CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
On x86 kernels configured with CONFIG_PROC_KCORE=y and
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=n, the vmcoreinfo note in /proc/kcore is incomplete.
Specifically, it is missing arch-specific information like the KASLR
offset and whether 5-level page tables are enabled. This breaks
applications like drgn [1] and crash [2], which need this information
for live debugging via /proc/kcore.
This happens because:
1. CONFIG_PROC_KCORE selects CONFIG_CRASH_CORE.
2. kernel/crash_core.c (compiled if CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y) calls
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() to get the arch-specific parts of
vmcoreinfo. If it is not defined, then it uses a no-op fallback.
3. x86 defines arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() in
arch/x86/kernel/machine_kexec_*.c, which is only compiled if
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y.
Therefore, an x86 kernel with CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y and
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=n uses the no-op fallback and gets incomplete
vmcoreinfo data. This isn't relevant to kdump, which requires
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. It only affects applications which read vmcoreinfo at
runtime, like the ones mentioned above.
Fix it by moving arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() into two new
arch/x86/kernel/crash_core_*.c files, which are gated behind
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE.
