* Mon Feb 26 2024 Dominique Leuenberger - Use %patch -P N instead of deprecated %patchN.
* Mon Nov 20 2023 David Mair - Tidy patches to apply without offsets to crash 8.0.4/gdb 10.2: - crash-allow-use-of-sadump-captured-KASLR-kernel.patch - crash-debuginfo-compressed.patch - crash-make-emacs-default.diff - crash-sles9-time.patch - crash-stop_read_error_when_intent_is_retry.patch - crash-usrmerge.patch
* Thu Nov 16 2023 David Mair - Update to crash-8.0.4 - Removed patches already present in upstream source:
* crash-fix-glibc-redefs.patch
* crash-get-linux_banner-without-using-syment-type.patch- Removed the redundant clean section from the spec file
* Thu Oct 05 2023 David Mair - Updated crash gcore extension to current upstream v1.64 dated 2023-02-28. It\'s not updated in each product version and most don\'t release a crash-gcore rpm now but updated the latest openSUSE package project at this time.
* Wed Sep 20 2023 David Mair - On initialization crash verifies the core based on the text referenced by the linux_banner symbol in the supplied core. It chooses how to get the address of the text based on the symbol type decoded with gdb. For some compressed kernels with an accessible debuginfo file the type is not supported (bss segment found, data reference expected) but the symbol and it\'s value are valid. This causes the linux_banner text to be used as the \"address\" of the linux_banner and that\'s an invalid address for the coredump causing crash to fail to load reporting something like: WARNING: invalid linux_banner pointer: 65762078756e694c where the address is obviously ASCII text used as a number. A SUSE patch to support compressed kernel binaries introduces the behavior, it does not happen for upstream crash source as-is. The difference is whether the symbol details are obtained from the kernel binary or debuginfo (fails for some debuginfos).
* crash-get-linux_banner-without-using-syment-type.patch In verify_version(), choose how to obtain the linux_banner address based on the result of get_symbol_type() instead. TYPE_CODE_ARRAY causes the value of the symbol obtained from gdb to be used. TYPE_CODE_PTR causes the sybol data to be read to get the address. Default is unrecognized type but a warning is shown and the value obtained from gdb used as a best case choice. (bsc#1190434 c#24)
* Tue Aug 15 2023 David Mair - crash has it\'s own definitions of some glibc functions, including strlcpy(), length limited string copy. In glibc 2.38 the second argument is const char
*, in crash it is char
*. The argument is the source string to copy from and shouldn\'t be modified. crash uses the glibc version in some places, it\'s own in others and the declarations are incompatible resulting in build errors. Added
* crash-fix-glibc-redefs.patch to make the crash declaration of strlcpy() match the glibc 2.38 version. It may also need to be made product version conditional but it should fix Factory.
* Wed Jun 14 2023 olafAATTaepfle.de- Remove hard dependency to kernel macros to allow quilt setup

* Mon Dec 05 2022 Ludwig Nussel - BuildRequire %kernel_module_package_buildreqs (boo#1205149)
* Fri Nov 18 2022 Petr Tesařík - Require zlib-devel for crash-devel.
* Tue Oct 25 2022 David Mair - make of crash extensions was failing due to extension shared objects depending on extension source file plus defs.h. defs.h is hardlinked from the crash base source directory before the .so make rule but make reports it doesn\'t know how to make requirement defs.h. I added a rule for defs.h in the extensions Makefile that creates defs.h the same way as was previously used but satisfies the dependency resolution on demand then the make succeeded.

* Wed Mar 10 2021 Martin Wilck - Install and ship the small built-in extensions snap.so, trace.so, and dminfo.so. \"trace.so\" is particularly useful. Ship them in the main \"crash\" package, as they are small.
* Thu Jan 28 2021 Jiri Bohac - Added crash-xen-increase-__physical_mask_shift_xen-to-52.patch (bsc#1177050)
* Mon Jan 18 2021 Michal Suchanek - Update arm64 support (boo#1169099). crash-Fix-to-allow-the-translation-of-ARM64-FIXMAP-address.patch crash-Introduce-a-new-ARM64-machdep-vabits_actual-value-co.patch crash-Prepare-for-the-introduction-of-ARM64-8.3-Pointer-Au.patch crash-Several-fixes-for-ARM64-kernels.patch crash-arm64-Change-tcr_el1_t1sz-variable-name-to-TCR_EL1_T.patch crash-xendump-fix-failure-to-match-arm-aarch64-elf-format-.patch crash-arm64-update-mapping-symbol-filter-in-arm64_verify_s.patch crash-Fix-segmentation-fault-when-ikconfig-passed-nonstand.patch

* Mon Dec 07 2020 David Mair - Corrected project URL in spec file to match the changed upstream location as-of May 30th 2020. Noted the project URL change in README.SUSE without removing the old URL because it represents the location the project source was obtained from. The next project source update is available from the new project URL. When the package is updated with that source all URL project references will be modified to only show the new URL. Add crash-update-whitepaper-URL.patch Note change of no longer valid old project whitepaper URL to current valid project whitepaper URL in help output. Leave the old one reported because it represents the location the project source was obtained from for this package version. (bsc#1179536)
* Fri Oct 09 2020 Guillaume GARDET - Fix build on aarch64: crash-gdb-fix-aarch64.patch
* Wed Sep 09 2020 David Mair - Add crash-verify-exception-frame-accessible-for-all-verify-requests.patch In calls to search a stack for x86_64 exceptions a flag is used to request the stack be verified for room to contain saved registers. The verify is not performed if other flags are used in the same call. Fixing this exposes another bug where only a kernel stack is verified anyway, even if the exception is being searched for on a userspace stack. Patch fixes both problems. (bsc#1162297)
* Fri Sep 04 2020 Petr Tesařík - Add eppic-remove-duplicate-symbols.patch Fix eppic extension build.

* Tue Feb 04 2020 David Mair - Upgraded the source to version 7.2.8. The previous version was modified to support newer kernels used in SLE-15-SP2 but was not complete.
* Includes a fix for kernels that contain: e0703556644a531e50b5dc61b9f6ea83af5f6604 which introduces symbol namespaces. Without the change then depending on architecture: (1) the kernel module symbol list will contain garbage (2) the session fails during initialization with a dump of the internal buffer allocation stats followed by the message \"crash: cannot allocate any more memory\" (3) the session fails during initialization with a segmentation violation (bsc#1162064)
* Includes the merge of the S390x patches since crash 7.2.7 (bsc#1156645/bsc#1161640)
* Source already includes XZ compressed module support, removed: crash-symbols-add-support-for-XZ.patch
* Refreshed patches that were no longer aligned with source: crash-allow-use-of-sadump-captured-KASLR-kernel.patch crash-s390-autodetect-kaslr.patch crash-sles9-time.patch
* Fri Jan 10 2020 David Mair - Upgraded the source tarball to version 7.2.7. This is required to support coredumps from currently used kernel versions in the product (bsc#1159686).- droped the patch obsoleted due to already being present in the new source:
* crash-allow-kmem-section-is-early.patch
* Tue Nov 12 2019 David Mair - Added commit c0371f6ee2cae31ec9f506bbd231ab8fbe334c13 - Fix to allow live analysis of s390x kernels that have been configured with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y (KASLR). This allows crash to load the coredump without the need for \"--kaslr= on the command-line. Added: crash-s390-autodetect-kaslr.patch Implements jsc#SLE-9797

* Wed Jul 04 2018 ptesarikAATTsuse.com- Upgrade the source tarball to version to 7.2.3 A complete changelog is available via the crash source page at: http://people.redhat.com/anderson/crash.changelog.html- Refreshed: crash-compressed-booted-kernel.patch
* Mon Mar 19 2018 dmairAATTsuse.com- Upgraded to 7.2.1 because it includes the fixes to support several core cases that recently were caused tofail to open. As a result, removed patches that were already superceded by 7.2.1 source (bsc#1103371). Removed: crash-ppc64-book3s-update-hash-page-table-geometry.patch crash-x86_64_kvtop-usable-symtab_init.patch crash-ppc64-ensure-chosen-stack-symbol-relates-to-an-actual-backtrace.patch crash-fix-error-cannot-resolve-schedulers-0001.patch crash-fix-error-cannot-resolve-schedulers-0002.patch crash-extend-direct-mapping-to-5TB.patch Modified: crash-allow-use-of-sadump-captured-KASLR-kernel.patch
* Mon Feb 05 2018 dmairAATTsuse.com- Added: crash-fix-error-cannot-resolve-schedulers-0001.patch crash-fix-error-cannot-resolve-schedulers-0002.patch crash-extend-direct-mapping-to-5TB.patch Fixes Xen dump files that cannot be opened in hypervisor mode. bsc#1073993
* Fri Jan 12 2018 dmairAATTsuse.com- Added crash-ppc64-ensure-chosen-stack-symbol-relates-to-an-actual-backtrace.patch With latest NMI IPI changes, crash_ipi_callback is found multiple times on the stack. Ensure the chosen symbol relates to an actual backtrace. bsc#1072718
* Thu Dec 07 2017 dimstarAATTopensuse.org- Escape the usage of %{VERSION} when calling out to rpm. RPM 4.14 has %{VERSION} defined as \'the main packages version\'.
* Wed Nov 29 2017 dmairAATTsuse.com- Added crash-x86_64_kvtop-usable-symtab_init.patch to change x86_64_kvtop() so that it can be called during symtab_init() Added crash-allow-use-of-sadump-captured-KASLR-kernel.patch to allow use of dumps of KASLR enabled kernels that were captured by sadump. Both are bsc#1070278/FATE#323473
* Tue Nov 14 2017 dmairAATTsuse.com- Upgrade the source tarball to version to 7.2.0 which requires the removal of patches that are then already applied: crash-gdb-add-proc_service-sync-with-GLIBC.patch crash-xen_add_support_for_domU_with_linux_kernel_from_3.19.patch A complete changelog is available via the crash source page at: http://people.redhat.com/anderson/crash.changelog.html Added crash-ppc64-book3s-update-hash-page-table-geometry.patch from hbathiniAATTlinux.vnet.ibm.com via bsc#1067702 to correct errors with virtual-to-physical address translation in the larger virtual address range of newer kernels. Added a BuildRequires of libelf that will populate the build workspace with libelf (from elfutils) even though it is not directly required by crash but is required by gdb (which crash nests). It no longer got picked up automatically for build and gdb and kernel module features had build errors before it.
* Fri Jun 09 2017 dmairAATTsuse.com- crash-xen_add_support_for_domU_with_linux_kernel_from_3.19.patch: Since linux kernel 3.19 crash readmem() can\'t be used to read xen_p2m_addr associate memory directly during m2p translation. PV domU p2m mapping is also stored at xd->xfd + xch_index_offset and organized as struct xen_dumpcore_p2m. This patch implements a special reading function read_xc_p2m() to extract the mfns from xd->xfd + xch_index_offset and makes and crash support Xen PV domU dumpfiles for kernel 3.19 and later (bsc#1043501). - add crash-xen_add_support_for_domU_with_linux_kernel_from_3.19.patch
* Fri Jun 02 2017 msuchanekAATTsuse.com- Merge SLE changes into Factory (bsc#1041638)
* Thu May 25 2017 dmairAATTsuse.com- crash-stop_read_error_when_intent_is_retry.patch: When reading a memory image fails it may not be an error if it is still possible to switch image and retry the read. Fix the error message output to only occur if no retries are intended (bsc#1038839). - add crash-stop_read_error_when_intent_is_retry.patch
* Mon Apr 24 2017 astiegerAATTsuse.com- Exclude openSUSE from RT KMP build (bsc#1013843)
* Tue Mar 28 2017 dmairAATTsuse.com- crash source nests gdb source but gdb has a new build error on Factory due to the bug and build environment modifications. The fix is upstream gdb but not upstream crash\'s gdb. Created crash patch: crash-gdb-add-proc_service-sync-with-GLIBC.patch to create the gdb patch in expanded crash and added to the gdb Makefile patch it\'s application. Resolves the build error.
* Tue Mar 07 2017 dmairAATTsuse.de- Upgrade of source tarball to 7.1.8 from upstream and refresh of patches to align with the version. For a detailed changelog of the source tarball see: http://people.redhat.com/anderson/crash.changelog.html Adds a feature to permit the use of the command-line options \"--kaslr=\" and/or \"--kaslr=auto\" with the x86 32-bit architecture.- refresh crash-sles9-time.patch crash-compressed-booted-kernel.patch- drop crash-Fix-for-the-PPC64-bt-command-for-non-panicking-activ.patch merged upstram in 7.1.8
* Wed Feb 01 2017 msuchanekAATTsuse.com- Fix analyzing fadump dumps on PPC64 (bsc#1022962). + crash-Fix-for-the-PPC64-bt-command-for-non-panicking-activ.patch
* Tue Jan 24 2017 dmairAATTsuse.de- Upgrade of source tarball to 7.1.7 from upstream, removal of crash-kernel-4.7.patch (source includes it) and refresh of other patches to align with the version. For a detailed changelog of the source tarball see: http://people.redhat.com/anderson/crash.changelog.html Feature enhancements included from 7.1.6: - Introduction of support for \"live\" ramdump files, such as those that are specified by the latest QEMU version\'s mem-path argument of a memory-backend-file object, e.g.: $ qemu-kvm ...other-options... \\ - object memory-backend-file,id=MEM,size=128m,mem-path=/tmp/MEM,share=on \\ - numa node,memdev=MEM -m 128 and a live session run can be run against the guest kernel like so: $ crash live:/tmp/MEMAATT0 - Implemented support for the redesigned ARM64 kernel virtual memory layout that was introduced in Linux 4.6. Plus ARM64 support for 4k pages with 4-level page tables and 48 VA bits. NB: On live systems automatic operation with Linux 4.6 ARM64 kernels requires that CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is not configured. If it is configured then use with a live system requires two - -machdep arguments, e.g.: - -machdep phys_offset= - -machdep kimage_voffset= - Improvement of the ARM64 bt -f display so that, for most cases, the stack frame delimiter will be the location of the old FP and LR pair. - New bt -v option that checks all tasks for evidence of stack overflows. - Incorporation of an alternative stack backtrace mathod accessed directly using bt -o and the default method can be toggled between the two using bt -O. - Fix for the case where the sym/dis commands fail for a symbol name that is composed entirely of hexadecimal characters and was previously interpreted as an address. - Determine structure member data if the member is contained in an anonymous structure or union (no longer necessary to use a] discrete gdb \"printf\" command to find the offset of it). - Session initialization speed up. - Addition of \"list -S\" and \"tree -S\" options (similar to the -s option of each command) where member values are read from memory instead of being interpreting gdb output (much faster behavior for 1-, 2-, 4- and 8-byte members). - Fix to recognize x86_64 Linux 4.8-rc1 and later kernels that are configured with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY. - Support for PPC64 virtual address translation of radix MMU. - Improvement of \"dev -d\" output to display I/O statistics for devices that use the blk-mq interface. Feature enhancements included from 7.1.7: - Restore x86_64 \"dis\" command\'s symbol translation for call or jump target addresses for kernels configured with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE. - Re-factor of the trace extension module to locate all of the ftrace buffers and extracts data from each of them rather than only the primary one. - Support for s390x CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK configuration so that \"bt\" command no longer shows incomplete output. - Support for live ARM64 kernels from Linux 4.6 that have the kernel image loaded anywhere in physical memory. - Update of /dev/crash/kernel driver to v1.3 which adds support Linux 4.6 and later ARM64 kernels configured with CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY and S390x kernels that use xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() rather than kmap() and kunmap(). - refresh eppic-support-arm64.patch crash-debuginfo-compressed.patch - drop crash-linux-4.6-printk-flags.patch merged upstream in 7.1.6
* Wed Oct 19 2016 lpechacekAATTsuse.com- Enabled RT KMP build (bsc#1005578)

* Wed Jul 29 2015 ptesarikAATTsuse.cz- crash-move-xen-dom0-handling-into-own-file.patch: Move Xen Dom0 handling into xen_dom0.c (FATE#316467).- crash-move-xen-p2m-map.patch: Move xen p2m map initialization to xen_kdump_p2m (FATE#316467).- crash-use-xen_machine_addr-command.patch: Use XEN_MACHINE_ADDR command flag instead of overriding readmem (FATE#316467).- crash-move-xen-elf-note-processing.patch: Move Xen ELF note processing to xen_dom0.c (FATE#316467).- crash-add-xen-dom0-support-for-kdump.patch: Add Xen Dom0 support for kdump compressed files (FATE#316467).
* Tue Jul 21 2015 ptesarikAATTsuse.com- crash-s390x-add-vector-support.patch: SIMD support for dump tools (z13) (FATE#318058).
* Mon Jul 20 2015 dmairAATTsuse.com- Upgrade to 7.1.2 from upstream. For a detailed changelog see http://people.redhat.com/anderson/crash.changelog.html- Refreshed patch series with some changes required to adjust for git host changes in eppic-switch-to-system-lib.patch
* Wed May 27 2015 dmairAATTsuse.com- Upgrade to 7.1.1 from upstream. At the time of writing the only published changelog was supplied by e-mail list and is as follows - Fix for two minor issues with the \"net\" command. Without the patch, the \"net -a\" option appends its correct output with the command\'s \"Usage:\" message; and if either the \"net -x\" or \"net -d\" options are used without also specifying \"-s\" or \"-S\", the error message would indicate \"net: illegal flag: 800000\" or \"net: illegal flag: 1000000\" instead of showing the command\'s \"Usage:\" message. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - If the kernel (live or dumpfile) has the TAINT_LIVEPATCH bit set, or if the Red Hat \"kpatch\" module is installed, the tag \"[LIVEPATCH]\" will be displayed next to the kernel name in the initial system banner and by the \"sys\" command. This new tag replaces the \"[KPATCH]\" tag that was introduced in crash-7.0.7. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Addressed three Coverity Scan complaints in vmware_vmss.c: 50:leaked_storage: Variable \"fp\" going out of scope leaks the storage it points to. 53:leaked_storage: Variable \"fp\" going out of scope leaks the storage it points to. 256:warning: Use of memory after it is freed (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Remove the LKCD-only \"propeller spinner\" seen when a dumpfile read requires more than 2048 page header accesses. This was put in place because of the non-random-access design of LKCD dumpfiles. Without the patch, the spinner display is intermingled with command output, which complicates the parsing of the output. (watters.samAATTgmail.com) - Fix to support the Linux version increment from 3 to 4. Without the patch, both dumpfile and live sessions fail during initialization, issuing the message \"WARNING: kernel version inconsistency between vmlinux and dumpfile\" or \"WARNING: kernel version inconsistency between vmlinux and live memory\", followed by the nonsensical fatal error message \"crash: incompatible arguments: vmlinux is not SMP -- vmcore is SMP\" or \"crash: incompatible arguments: vmlinux is not SMP -- live system is SMP\". To prevent unexpected kernel version bumps in the future, support has been added for version 5. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Add support for more than 16TB of physical memory space in the SADUMP dumpfile format. Without the patch, there is a limitation caused by several 32-bit members of dump_header structure, in particular the max_mapnr member, which overflows if the dumpfile contains more than 16TB of physical memory space. The header_version member of the dump_header structure has been increased from 0 to 1 in this extended new format, and the new 64-bit members will be used. (d.hatayamaAATTjp.fujitsu.com) - Fix for command lines that are redirected to a pipe. Without the patch, if an external piped-to command contains a quoted string that includes a \"|\" character, the command fails with the message \"crash: pipe operation failed\". (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Fix for insecure temporary file usage in _rl_tropen() as reported by readline library CVE-2014-2524. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - When the gdb-.patch file has changed and a rebuild is done from within a previously-existing build tree, the \"patch -N\" option is used to ignore patches that have been previously applied; this patch also applies the \"patch -r-\" option to prevent unnecessary .rej files from being created. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Fix to account for Xen hypervisor\'s \"domain\" structure member name change from \"is_paused_by_controller\" to \"controller_pause_count\". Without the patch, in Xen 4.2.5 and later, the crash session fails during initialization with the error message \'crash: invalid structure member offset: domain_is_paused_by_controller\". (dietmar.hahnAATTts.fujitsu.com) - During initialization, reject useless ARM64 \"(A)\" and \"(a)\" absolute symbols that are below the text region. Without the patch, several recently-introduced absolute symbols have been introduced into the kernel, which will be displayed by \"sym -l\" prior to the first kernel virtual address symbol, and will show up in command output where memory values are translated into kernel symbol references. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Fix for ARM64 kernels to account for changes in the virtual memory layout introduced in Linux 3.17. The vmalloc region end address, and the vmemmap start and end addresses are now calculated at kernel build time, because they depend upon the size of a struct page. Accordingly, the crash utility needs to calculate those three address values dynamically, after the embedded gdb module has initialized. Without the patch, reads of page structures return invalid data due to incorrect virtual-to-physical translations of memory in the vmemmap range. This in turn causes commands that require page structure contents to fail or show invalid data, such as \"kmem -p\", \"kmem -[sS]\", and the \"kmem -[fF]\" options. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Fix to support ELF vmcore dumpfiles whose PT_LOAD file offset values of their respective memory segments are not laid out sequentially from low to high in the dumpfile. This has only been seen in ELF dumpfiles created by VMware\'s \"vmss2core -M\" facility. Without the patch, the crash session may fail during initialization, either with the message \"cannot malloc ELF header buffer\", or \"crash: : not a supported file format\". (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Enhancement to the support of VMware .vmss suspended state dumpfiles. There may be holes in the memory address saved for PCI, etc. In such cases, the memory dump is divided into regions. With this patch, up to 3 memory regions are supported. (hfuAATTvmware.com) - Fortified the error handling of task gathering from the pid_hash[] chains during session initialization. If a chain has been corrupted, the patch prevents the sequence from entering an infinite loop, and the error messages associated with corrupt/invalid chains have been updated to report the pid_hash[] index number. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Implemented a new STRDUPBUF() utility that will duplicate an existing string into a buffer allocated with GETBUF(). As is the case with any buffer allocated with GETBUF(), it is only meant to exist during the life-span of the current command. If it is not explicitly freed via FREEBUF(), then it will be freed automatically prior to the next command. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Implemented a new fill_struct_member_data() function that gathers a bundle of data that describes a structure member. The function receives a pointer to a struct_member_data structure, in which the caller has initialized the \"structure\" and \"member\" name pointers: struct struct_member_data { char
*structure; char
*member; long type; long unsigned_type; long length; long offset; long bitpos; long bitsize; }; A gdb \"printm\" command is crafted using those two fields, and the output of the command is used to initialize the remaining six fields. Adapted from Qiao Nuohan\'s \"pstruct\" extension module. (andersonAATTredhat.com, qiaonuohanAATTcn.fujitsu.com) - Implemented a new \"runq -c cpu(s)\" option to display the run queue data of specified cpus. It can be used in conjunction with all runq command options. The cpus must be specified in a comma- and/or dash-separated list; for examples, \"3\", \"1,8,9\", \"1-23\", or \"1,8-15\". (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Build extension modules that utilize the generic extensions/Makefile with -g. In addition, build the snap.c extension module with -g. (rabinvAATTaxis.com) - Several fixes, updates, and enhancements for 32-bit MIPS support: (1) The MIPS general purpose registers in the elf_gregset_t don\'t start at index 0 but at index 6. (2) Adjust for the kernel\'s pt_regs structure changes between kernel versions. For example, fields are inserted into the middle based on build time options, and the amount of padding at the head of the structure was changed relatively recently. To handle this, split the structure definition into two parts and get the offsets of these two parts dynamically. (3) Do not display each parsed kernel symbol during initialization when invoked with \"crash -d8\". (4) Add support for loading raw MIPS ramdump dumpfiles. (5) Add support for compressed kdump dumpfiles. (rabinvAATTaxis.com) - Fix for a typo in \"help foreach\", and a fix for a spelling error in \"help input\". (weijg.fnstAATTcn.fujitsu.com) - Fix for \"and and\" and \"the the\" typos in the README file. (weijg.fnstAATTcn.fujitsu.com) - Fix to address the Xen 4.5.0 hypervisor symbol name change from \"dom0\" to \"hardware_domain\". Without the patch, the crash session fails with the error message \"crash: cannot resolve: dom0\". (dslutzAATTverizon.com) - Fix for a regression in crash-7.1.0 that causes failures when the \"crash -t\" option is run on a live system, and when analyzing remote Linux kernels. Without the patch, \"crash -t\" on a live system fails with the message \"crash: cannot open remote memory source: /dev/mem\", and attempts to analyze a Linux kernel remotely just shows the kernel timestamp and exits immediately. (dslutzAATTverizon.com, andersonAATTredhat.com) - Speed up the session invocation time of \"flattened\" format dumpfiles created by the makedumpfile(8) facility. When sorting the blocks of memory by their intended ELF or compressed kdump file offsets, the patch replaces the bubble-sort method that is currently used with an insertion sort method. (dslutzAATTverizon.com) - Remove the non-existent \"-L\" option from the \"ps\" command\'s mutually- exclusive options error message. (vvsAATTparallels.com) - Fix for the \"irq\", \"mount\", \"kmem -p\" and \"kmem -v\" commands when they are used in an input file. If more than one of any of those four commands are used in an input file, the output of the second and subsequent command instances will not display their respective command headers. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Implemented a new \"kmem -m\" option that is similar to \"kmem -p\", but it allows the user to specify the page struct members to be displayed. The option takes a comma-separated list of one or more page struct members, which will be displayed following the page structure address. The \"flags\" member will always be expressed in hexadecimal format, and the \"_count\" and \"_mapcount\" members will always be expressed in decimal format. Otherwise, all other members will be displayed in hexadecimal format unless the current output radix is 10 and the member is a signed/unsigned integer. Members that are data structures may be specified by the data structure\'s member name, or expanded to specify a member of that data structure. For example, \"-m lru\" refers to a list_head data structure, in which case both the list_head.next and list_head.prev pointer values will be displayed; if \"-m lru.next\" is specified, just the list_head.next value will be displayed. (atomlinAATTredhat.com, andersonAATTredhat.com) - Support enhancement for the 32-bit MIPS architecture that retrieves the per-cpu registers from the NT_PRSTATUS notes stored in the header of compressed kdump dumpfiles. (rabinvAATTaxis.com) - Fix to remove an invalid warning message on ARM64 if a crash session is invoked with the \"-d\" debug flag. Without the patch, the invalid message is \"WARNING: SPARSEMEM_EX: questionable section values\". (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Remove the leftover \".constructor\" build file in the extensions subdirectory when \"make extensions\" is complete, and update the top-level .gitignore file to ignore post-build extensions subdirectory files. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Fix for a segmentation violation generated by the \"help -[n|D]\" options on ARM64 compressed kdumps. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Additional output for the \"help [-D|-n]\" options on ARM64. For ELF kdump vmcores and compressed kdumps, the elf_prstatus structure in each NT_PRSTATUS note will be translated. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - The \"help -r\" option has been extended to dump the ARM64 registers stored in each per-cpu NT_PRSTATUS note in compressed kdump and ELF kdump dumpfiles. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Fix for the ARM64 page size determination on Linux 4.1 and later kernels. Without the patch, the crash session fails during initialization with the message \"crash: invalid/unsupported page size: 98304\" on kernels with 64K pages. On kernels with 4K pages, the message is \"crash: invalid/unsupported page size: 6144\". In addition, the \"-p \" command line override option had no effect on ARM64; that has been fixed as well. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Fix for the DATE display in the initial system banner and by the \"sys\" command to account for the Linux 3.17 change that moved the \"timekeeper\" symbol and structure into a containing tk_core structure; the \"shadow_timekeeper\" timekeeper will be used as an alternative. Without the patch, the DATE shows something within a few hours of the Linux epoch, such as \"Wed Dec 31 18:00:00 1969\". (kmcmartinAATTredhat.com) - Fixes for the translation of ARM64 PTEs, as displayed by the \"vm -p\" and \"vtop\" commands. Without the patch, if \"vm -p\" references a swapped-out page on Linux 4.0 and later kernels, the SWAP location may indicate \"(unknown swap location)\", and will show an invalid OFFSET value; on Linux 3.13 and later kernels, running \"vtop\" on a user virtual address incorrectly translates the PTE contents of swapped out pages by showing a PHYSICAL address and FLAGS translation instead of the SWAP device and OFFSET. It is possible that there may be PTE bit translation errors on other kernel versions; the patch addresses the changes in ARM64 PTE bit definitions made in Linux 3.11, 3.13, and 4.0 kernels. (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Enhanced the \"struct.member\" display capability of the \"struct\", \"union\", \"task\", \"list\" and \"tree\" commands. If a specified structure member contains an embedded structure, the output may be restricted to just the embedded structure by expressing the .member argument as \"member.member\". If a specified structure member is an array, the output may be restricted to a single array element by expressing the .member argument as \"member[index]\". Furthermore, these embedded member specifications may extend beyond one level deep, for example, by expressing the member argument as \"member.member.member\", or \"member[index].member\". (Alexandr_TerekhovAATTepam.com, andersonAATTredhat.com) - Fix for any command that passes strings to gdb for evaluation, where the string contains a parentheses-within-parentheses expression along with a \">\" or \">>\" operator inside the outermost set of parentheses. Without the patch, a command such as the following fails like so: crash> p ((1+1) >> 1) p: gdb request failed: p ((1+1) crash> (andersonAATTredhat.com) - Fix for the handling of ARM64 kernel module per-cpu symbols. Without the patch, if the debuginfo data of an ARM64 kernel module that contains a per-cpu section is loaded by \"mod -s \" or \"mod -S\", commands such as \"bt\" or \"sym\" may incorrectly translate the module\'s virtual addresses to symbol names.
