Fri Oct  9 16:24:05 CEST 2009 - ptesarik@suse.cz

- Update to 4.1.0
  o Fix "extend" regression on s390x and x86, introduced in crash 4.0.9
    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"
  o Fix the processing of bit fields on big endian systems in the SIAL
    extension module
  o Fix "dis -l" to properly display line-number information for 2.6.21
    and later x86_64 kernel module text addresses
  o Prevent querying the embedded gdb module for line numbers of kernel
    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.
  o New extension: "trace.so"
  o Fix for a potential failure to initialize the kmem slab cache 
    subsystem on 2.6.22 and later CONFIG_SLAB kernels if the dumpfile
    has pages excluded by the makedumpfile facility
  o Fix a potential session initialization failure on x86_64 kernels
    if the dumpfile has pages excluded by the makedumpfile facility
  o Fix "kmem -z" on 2.6.29 and later kernels
  o Fix "irq" on 2.6.29 and later CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ kernels
  o Fix "kmem -i" on 2.6.31 kernels
  o Fix "kmem -i" on x86_64 running 2.6.26 through 2.6.30
  o Fix "kmem -p" on older 64-bit kernels that have a 32-bit page.flags field
  o Fix "kmem -i" on older kernels whose unreferenced page.count value was -1
    (instead of 0)
  o Change the cursor location when cycling through the command history
    in "vi" editing mode (the default)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Oct  9 15:40:14 CEST 2009 - ptesarik@suse.cz

- Update to 4.0.9
  o New mainline versioning
  o Wholesale replacement of the x86/x86_64 disassembly code in the
    embedded gdb-6.1 module to that used in gdb-6.8 to correctly decode
    the 5-byte NOP used by the function tracer
  o Fix compressed diskdump/kdump vmcores to properly handle page
    descriptor structures that are located beyond a 4GB file offset
    in the vmcore file
  o Fix the "sym <address>" 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
    - correctly determine the frame just above an IRQ interrupt exception
      frame, or above an exception frame that gets handled on the process
      stack, such as a page fault
    - correctly calculate the frame size to differentiate between text
      return addresses and the precise text RIP address of an exception
  o Fix usage of a System.map file argument with 2.6.30 and later kernels
    to avoid "crash: symbol count overflow (trace_kmalloc)" messages
  o Fix usage of a System.map file argument whose symbol list does not
    contain an "_end" symbol.
  o Fix "kmem -p <address>" or "kmem <address>" when <address> is not
    a page structure address to avoid the annoying "kmem: WARNING:
    sparsemem: invalid section number: 8192" messages
  o Fix the snap.so extension module when run on pre-2.6.31 x86_64
    kernels with more than 4GB of physical memory
  o Fix build of the snap.so extension module on older systems
    running with "make" versions 3.80 or earlier

    hardirq_ctx[] and softirq_ctx[] arrays were changed to per-cpu
  o Replace the CFLAGS definition in the Makefile with a CRASH_CFLAGS
    definition, which in turn contains ${CFLAGS} to allow user-defined
    CFLAGS on the "make" command line
  o Bail out with a "not a supported file format" error immediately
    when trying to open x86 vmlinux file on an x86_64 host
  o Fix the "bt" command on x86 Xen hypervisor dumpfiles where a vcpu

- Update to 4.0-8.10
  o Enhance directory search for "mod -S <directory>" so that
    it is now possible to use an alternate module/module-debuginfo
    directory tree, created with rpm2cpio in a non-root directory
  o NEW: "--mod" command-line option to override the default
    location of the module directory tree

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Feb 07 18:43:55 CET 2009 - bwalle@suse.de

- Update to 4.0-7.7
  o Dynamic page size detection on PPC64 and IA64.
  o Fix for "mod -[sS]" command if the target module object

    remaining active tasks when one of them encounters a fatal
    error.
  o Only allow trusted versions of .crashrc and .gdbinit files to
    be sourced during session initialization.
  o Fix for a potential but highly unlikely buffer overflow in the
    gdb dwarfread.c and dwarf2read.c files, which requires a hand-
    crafted object file with a location block (DW_FORM_block) that
    contains a large number of operations.
  o Fix for a potential but highly unlikely integer overflow in the
    Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library, which requires a hand-
    crafted object file that that specifies a large number of
    section headers, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
  o Enable stack unwind on ia64 when using a kerntypes file as the
    kernel namelist.
  o Fix for failure of "files -R" command option if an inode is
    unknown due to a NULL f_dentry pointer in any open file
    structure because of a kernel error condition.
  o Allow an LKCD kerntypes debuginfo file created from a kernel
    module to be loaded with the command:
    "mod -s <module> <kerntypes-file>".

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 23 19:18:36 CET 2009 - bwalle@suse.de

- Don't build on 32 bit PPC to prevent distribution of 32 bit
  PPC packages. Since kdump doesn't exist on ppc and crash-ppc
  cannot read ppc64 (ELF64) dumps, such a package doesn't have
  any practical benefit.

- Support dump page sizes that are different from the system page
  sizes on ppc and ia64.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jan 12 10:32:00 CET 2009 - bwalle@suse.de

- Update to 4.0-7.6
  o Fix for initialization-time failure if the kernel was built
    without CONFIG_SWAP.
  o Fix for the "bt" command when run on x86_64 kernels that
    contain the  x86/x86_64 merger patch.
  o Fix for the usage of an input file of commands redirected
    during runtime via "<", where more than one command in the
    input file  results in a fatal error.
  o Clean up causes for warning messages when compiling with gcc
    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.
  o Fix for the "files" command when run on 2.6.25 and later
    kernels,  which would either fail with an "invalid kernel
    virtual address" error of type "fill_dentry_cache", or would
    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.
  o Fix for the builtin "g" alias, which would fail with an
    "Ambiguous command" error from the embedded gdb module.
  o Fix to handle the 2.6.27 kernel's change of the module
    structure's num_symtab, core_size and core_text_size members
    from long to int.

    crash session, then it will not be unloaded when the crash
    session exits.

  o Fix for initialization-time failure when running against Xen
    4.4  hypervisor binaries, which indicate "crash: invalid
    structure member offset: domain_is_polling".

    expression argument evaluates to a user virtual address in the
    current context.

  o Fix for the display of the processor speed on IBM Power6
    hardware.
