commit a89ec821cb5dbb106cb58e8740f84c7e382c0140
Author: Dave Anderson <anderson@redhat.com>
Date:   Fri Feb 8 11:12:23 2019 -0500

    For live system analysis where there is no vmcoreinfo ELF note
    attached to /proc/kcore, or for dumpfile analysis where there is no
    vmcoreinfo ELF note attached to the dumpfile, this patch sets the
    internal pc->read_vmcoreinfo() function to a new plugin function
    that reads the data directly from the live kernel or dumpfile.
    Because the function is set much later during initialization than
    if the ELF note is attached to /proc/kcore or the dumpfile, it may
    not be available during very early session initialization.
