Subject: Determine version of kernel that produced vmcore

Hello,

does anybody know a _reliable_ way to determine the version the kernel
that produced a vmcore file? This means not scanning for a specific
string or something like that which can fail on random memory.

Would it make sense to add a ELF PT_NOTE section in the vmcore?

Thanks for input!

Thanks,
   Bernhard
