Resolves: rhbz#710193

Thu Mar 10 13:00:00 2011 Dave Anderson - 5.1.1-2.el6
- Fix for x86 \"bt\" command to account for movement of ia32_sysenter_target()
assembly function to a separate text section, and for the failure to
resolve the backtrace of a non-active swapper task.
Resolves: rhbz#682129
- Upstream equivalency with 5.1.3 patch.
Resolves: rhbz#649070

Mon Jan 10 13:00:00 2011 Dave Anderson - 5.1.1-1.el6
- Add support for s390x ELF dumpfile format.
Resolves: rhbz#633449
- Add support for s390x compressed/filtered dumpfiles generated by
makedumpfile.
Resolves: rhbz#637197
- Fix for the \"bt\" command with 2.6.27 and later x86_64 kernels to
prevent the possible display of a an invalid \"vgettimeofday\" frame
above the topmost \"system_call_fastpath\" frame, followed by two
read errors indicating \"bt: read error: kernel virtual address:
ffffffffff600000 type: gdb_readmem_callback\".
Resolves: rhbz#637735
- Save the per-cpu register contents stored in the \"cpu\" devices of
x86_64 KVM dumpfiles, and use their contents for x86_64 backtrace RSP
and RIP hooks in the case of KVM \"live dumps\" where the guest system
was not in a crashed state when the \"virsh dump\" operation was done
on the KVM host. If an active task was running in user space when
a live dump was taken, that will be indicated by the \"bt\" output,
along with the user-space register contents. The x86_64 register set
saved for each cpu may be displayed with the \"help -[D|n]\" command.
- Fix for the x86_64 \"bt\" command to more correctly find the starting
backtrace RIP and RSP hooks in KVM dumpfiles. Without the patch,
backtraces that should start in the interrupt or exception stacks
were not being detected correctly.
Resolves: rhbz#649050
- Fix to utilize the correct \"cpu\" device format in x86 KVM dumpfiles
Without the patch, the x86 registers were read in a 32-bit format,
which is only true if the host machine was running a 32-bit kernel.
With the patch, the format defaults to the 64-bit format, and is
switched to the 32-bit format if it can be determined that the host
machine was running a 32-bit kernel.
- Save the per-cpu register contents stored in the \"cpu\" devices of
x86 KVM dumpfiles, and use their contents for x86 backtrace ESP and
EIP hooks in the case of KVM \"live dumps\", i.e., where the guest
system was not in a crashed state when the \"virsh dump\" operation
was done on the KVM host. If an active task was running in user
space when a live dump was taken, that will be indicated by the
\"bt\" output, along with the user-space register contents. The saved
x86 register set for each cpu may also be displayed with the
\"help -[D|n]\" command.
- Fix for the x86 \"bt\" command to correctly find the starting backtrace
EIP and ESP hooks for the active tasks in KVM dumpfiles where the
kernel had crashed.
Resolves: rhbz#649051
- Fix for the cpu count determination in crashed x86 KVM dumpfiles,
where the non-crashing cpus are marked offline in the kernel\'s
cpu_online_mask by smp_stop_cpu(). Depending upon the cpu number
of the crashing task, the cpu count may be set to a value that is
less than the number of present cpus.
- Change to the manner in which the cpu count is determined for x86_64
kernels. SLES11 2.6.32 kernels delay the call to crash_kexec() until
after smp_send_stop() is called by panic(), and so the cpu_online_map
cannot be used for determining the cpu count. With the patch, the
cpu_present_map is used.
Resolves: rhbz#649053
- Rebase to upstream version 5.1.1.
Resolves: rhbz#649070

is in a valid kernel virtual address region but is either unmapped or
non-existent. Without the patch, the following three error messages
are displayed:
struct struct: invalid kernel virtual address: type: \"gdb_readmem_callback\"
gdb called without error_hook: Cannot access memory at address

*
*
* glibc detected
*
*
* crash: double free or corruption (!prev):
*
*
*
followed by a backtrace and the crash utility memory map. The session
aborts at that point. With the fix, the commands will fail gracefully
after displaying error messages reporting that the kernel virtual
address cannot be accessed.
Resolves: rhbz#561048

- Fix for x86, s390, s390x (and ia64) architectures to set the system
cpu count equal to the highest cpu online plus one. Without the

the system\'s total cpu count, which would be misleading when any
offline cpu number was less than the highest online cpu number.

running on systems that have multiple NUMA nodes. By default, those
kernels use the \"page\" (or \"lpage\") percpu memory allocators, which
utilize vmalloc space for percpu memory.
