You need the kernel VA for a symbol. Isn't this what kallsyms is for? | root@frikadeller:~# cat /proc/kallsyms | grep swapper_pg_dir | ffff5404610d0000 B swapper_pg_dir
This is the KASLR address, the vmlinux has: | root@frikadeller:~/linux/build_arm64# nm -s vmlinux | grep swapper_pg_dir | ffff0000096d0000 B swapper_pg_dir
This is in the vmcoreinfo too, so you can work if out from the vmcore too: | root@frikadeller:~# dd if=/proc/kcore bs=8K count=1 2>/dev/null | strings | | grep swapper_pg_dir | SYMBOL(swapper_pg_dir)=ffff5404610d0000
I picked swapper_pg_dir, but you could use any of the vmcore:SYMBOL() addresses to work out this offset. (you should expect the kernel to rename these symbols at a whim).
Thanks,
James
