with the \"-x\" option
o Cleanup top-level source files to address compiler warnings
generated by the CFLAGS used in the Fedora build environment
o Fix \"pte\" on s390 and s390x if the pte value argument evaluates as
not present
o Allow command redirection to pipes or files when using gdb commands
alone on the command line without preceding it with \"gdb\"

module text addresses if the module\'s debuginfo data has not been loaded
o New option \"ps -G\" to restrict the process status output to the thread
group leader of a thread group
o Several fixes for the \"repeat\" command when used in conjunction
with an input file. Without the patch:
- Depending upon the command executed from the input file, a SIGINT
would kill the command currently being executed from the input file,
but the \"repeat\" command would then restart it.
- If a command in the input file redirected its output to a pipe, the
repeat operation could stop prematurely after executing that particular
command.
- If a command in the input file redirected its output to a pipe, the
zombies of the command being piped to would not be cleaned up until the
repeat command was stopped.
- If the last command in the input file redirected its output to a pipe,
all subsequent executions of the input file would only display the
output of that last command.

descriptor structures that are located beyond a 4GB file offset
in the vmcore file
o Fix the \"sym

\" command option when the address references
a symbol in the vsyscall FIXMAP virtual address page in certain
x86_64 kernel versions
o Multiple fixes for the \"bt\" command on x86_64:
- properly recognize vsyscall FIXMAP virtual addresses when
encountered as the RIP in an exception frame.
- always use the NMI exception stack when available, not the per-cpu
IRQ stack of an active non-crashing task

architectures that are affected.

sizes on ppc and ia64.

4.3.2.
o Fix to prevent a segmentation violation during initialization
when parsing (corrupted) module symbols.
o If an active task experiences a kernel stack overflow, the
task\'s thread_info structure located at the very bottom of the
stack will likely have its \"cpu\" field corrupted.
o Modification of the the \"files\" command when a task has an open
file referenced by a file descriptor, but the file structure\'s
f_dentry field is NULL.
o Fix for the \"bt\" command on x86 Xen architectures when the
backtrace starts on the hard IRQ stack.

segmentation violation or bogus \"bad slab pointer\" and \"bad
inuse counter\" error messages.
o Fix for a bug in the SIAL extension when dealing with
bitfields.

show nonsensical/garbage \"ROOT\" and \"CWD\" pathnames.
o Addition of a new \"null-stop\" environment variable that can be
turned on/off with the \"set\" command.

crash session, then it will not be unloaded when the crash
session exits.
o Fix to recognize the 2.6.25 re-naming of the x86
user_regs_struct structure members.
o Fix for initialization-time failure when running against 2.6.27
x86_64 xen kernels, which indicate \"crash: cannot resolve:
end_pfn\".
o Fix for initialization-time failure when running against Xen
4.4 hypervisor binaries, which indicate \"crash: invalid
structure member offset: domain_is_polling\".
o Added a new \"p -u\" option, which indicates that the gdb
expression argument evaluates to a user virtual address in the
current context.
o Fix for \"bt -a\" command when running against the xen hypervisor

value for the processor type.

hardware.
