Previous patches add the Qualcomm minidump driver support, so
lets enable minidump config so that it can be used by kernel
clients.

This patchset is split too much. Defconfig change is one change. Not two
or three.

This must be a module.

Why do you think this should be a module ?

Is it because, it is lying here among others '=m' ?

Or you have some other reasoning ? like it is for qcom specific
soc and can not be used outside ? but that is not true for
all configs mentioned here.

The reason behind making it as '=y' was, to collect information from 
core kernel data structure as well as the information like percpu data, 
run queue, irq stat kind of information on kernel crash on a target 
running some perf configuration(android phone).

Because we want and insist on everything being a module. That's the
generic rule. There are exceptions, so if this justifies being an
exception, please bring appropriate arguments.

I don't understand why =m stops you from all that. What's more, I don't
understand why do you refer to the Android here. This is a development
and debugging Linux defconfig, not Android reference config for vendors...

How do i get kernel symbol address from a modules
can we use kallsyms_lookup_name from modules ?

You allow it to be a module in patch #4, so I think you solved it,
right? Otherwise it could not be a module?

Anyway, where do you use kallsyms_lookup_name()? I cannot find it in
your patch.
