    If /proc/kcore gets selected for the live memory source because
    /dev/mem was configured with CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM, its ELF header
    contents are not displayed by "help -[dD]", and are not displayed
    when the crash session is invoked with -d<number>".  Without the
    patch, the ELF contents are only displayed in those two situations
    if "/proc/kcore" is explicitly entered on the crash command line.

commit c79a11fa10da94b71ddf341ec996c522fbd75237

    If the default live memory source /dev/mem is determined to be
    unusable because the kernel was configured with CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM,
    the first memory read during session initialization will fail.  The
    current behavior results in a readmem() error message, followed by two
    notification messages that indicate that /dev/mem is restricted and
    a switch to using /proc/kcore will be attempted; the readmem is
    reattempted from /proc/kcore, and if successful, the session will
    continue initialization.  With this patch, the behavior will change
    such that if the switch to /proc/kcore and the reattempted readmem()
    are successful, no messages will be displayed unless the crash
    session is invoked with "crash -d&lt;number>".
