Hi Chris,

Here is the list of commits used in test kernel:

0f22bce staging: lustre: check kzalloc return value
1d67237 Drivers: hv: vmbus: prefer 'die' notification chain to 'panic'
a28d64c Drivers: hv: vmbus: add special crash handler
5990a10 Drivers: hv: don't do hypercalls when hypercall_page is NULL
7d8e182 Drivers: hv: vmbus: add special kexec handler
c3e9e25 kexec: define kexec_in_progress in !CONFIG_KEXEC case
e051d15 Drivers: hv: vmbus: Implement the protocol for tearing down vmbus state
7f0f4f3 Drivers: hv: vmbus: unregister panic notifier on module unload
2f940da hv: run non-blocking message handlers in the dispatch tasklet
ce30250 Drivers: hv: vmbus: Add support for VMBus panic notifier handler
9ed3a0e Drivers: hv: vmbus: Teardown clockevent devices on module unload
25a696e clockevents: export clockevents_unbind_device instead of clockevents_unbind
891b295 drivers: hv: vmbus: Teardown synthetic interrupt controllers on module unload
3efe049 Drivers: hv: vmbus: teardown hv_vmbus_con workqueue and vmbus_connection pages on shutdown
45a0fc8 Drivers: hv: vmbus: prevent cpu offlining on newer hypervisors


The following commits did not cherry-pick cleanly and needed backporting:  
e513229, 96c1d05, 652594c, 2db84ef, 2517281 and 510f7aef

The subjects listed above are the same as in mainline, but SHA1s are
different, since that is from my local repo.  Just let me know if you
need me to post the original SHA1s and I will

Title:
  [Hyper-V] Kernel panic not functional on Vivid

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in linux source package in Vivid:
  In Progress
Status in linux source package in Wily:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Issue description:
  Triggering a kernel panic will not produce a crash dump file.

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. install kdump related packages.
  2. verify crashmem value - defaults to 384M-:129M
  3. verify that the system is ready for crash:
          # cat /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded
          1
  4. trigger kernel panic with # echo c | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger
  5. The system will freeze and no kernel dump will be generated, system is not rebooted automatically as configured in kdump-tools config.

  Versions details:
  Windows Server Host Edition: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter build 9600
  Distribution name and release: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet
  Kernel version: Linux ubuntu31 3.19.0-11-generic #11lp14233432v201504021617 SMP

  Repro output with VM settings as follows:
  2GB RAM, 1vCPU, crashmem: 384M:128M OR 384M:128M
