Kdump is a long existing method for acquiring dump of crashed kernel, however very few literatures are available to understand it's usage and internals. We receive a lot of queries on kexec mailing list about different issues related to the kexec/kdump environment.
In this presentation, we talk about basics of kdump usage and some internals about kdump/kexec kernel implementation. It includes end to end flow from kdump kernel configuration to crash analysis.

It also includes related information about ELF structure, so that one can debug if vmcore itself gets corrupted because of any architecture related issue.
