- Implementation of 7.0.3 from upstream and patch refresh.
- Fix for the ARM architecture if the backtrace unwind information 
  cannot be gathered during session initialization.  Without the patch, 
  the two unwind-related warning messages indicating "WARNING: UNWIND: 
  failed to gather unwind_table list" and "WARNING: UNWIND: failed to 
  initialize module unwind tables" are followed by the fatal error 
  message "crash: cannot hash task_struct entries".

- Fix for the "help -[Dn]" dumpfile information display of the GUID EFI
  table in the header of SADUMP dumpfiles.  Without the patch, only 33 
  of the 36 bytes in the table are translated.

- Fix for the determination of the kernel NR_CPUS configurable for
  Linux 3.8 and later kernels that are configured with CONFIG_SLAB. 
  Without the patch, the kernel's compiled-in NR_CPUS value was 
  incorrectly calculated to be the sum of the kernel's NR_CPUS and
  MAX_NUMNODES configurables.

- In the next release of makedumpfile, the status field of the 
  dumpfile header of compressed kdumps will show the compression 
  type that was utilized.  The "help -[Dn]" output has been updated
  to display that information.

- For kernels configured with CONFIG_SLAB in which an array_cache
  pointer referenced by a kmem_cache structure is invalid, the
  individual cache(s) will be marked as invalid.  During session
  initialization, the message "crash: kmem_cache: <cache-address>: 
  invalid array_cache pointer" will be displayed, and during runtime, 
  attempts to access the cache(s) will result in a message indicating (forwarded request 207895 from dmair)
