Description of Problem:
This is a REGRESSION issue.
At fedora makedumpfile has been updated toward v1.5.4. Unfortunately,
this version fails calculating phys_base on sadump format and then
fails converting vmcore.
x86_64 kernel is relocatable kernel and there can be a gap between
the physical address statically assigned to kernel data and texts
and the address that is really assigned to each object corresponding
to the kernel symbols. The gap is phys_base. makedump calculates the
phys_base in an ad-hoc way that comparing the addresses of some of
occurrences of "Linux kernel" strings in certain range of vmcore.
Resolution:
Fix patch has already been posted in upstream. so just back port.
