Public bug reported:
Thank you for reading this report.
This may caused by bugs in kernel, not in kdump. If so, I will report this to
kernel team.
I need your comment to solve this.
[Impact]
* Kdump kernel can't be loaded using linux kernel 4.15.0-76.
[Environment]
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
Release: 18.04
uname:
Linux ubuntu 4.15.0-76-generic #86-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 17 17:24:28 UTC 2020
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Secure boot is enabled.
Versions:
* kexec-tools/bionic-updates,now 1:2.0.16-1ubuntu1.1
* kdump-tools/bionic-updates,now 1:1.6.5-1ubuntu1~18.04.4
[Test case]
1)After OS booted, run systemctl status kdump-tools shows these messages below:
....

2)Run kexec directly:
$ sudo /sbin/kexec -p --command-line="/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-76-generic

Then,these messages are shown:
Cannot open /proc/kcore: Operation not permitted
Cannot read /proc/kcore: Operation not permitted
Cannot load /boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-76-generic
On dmesg, these messages are shown:

....
3) Changing OS kernel to older one(I used 4.15.0-64), kdump kernel can
be loaded.
