- delete crash-foreach-match-running.patch: upstream

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon May 14 20:24:51 UTC 2012 - dmair@suse.com

- Update to crash 6.0.6 from upstream
  o Extend the supported cross-architecture build capability so
    that it applies to the SIAL extentension module. Without the
    patch, when building the SIAL module an environment where the
    overlying crash utility was built with "make target=ARM",
    "make target=PPC", or "make target=X86", the SIAL extension
    module would continue to be built for the host architecture
  o Fixes for memory leaks and possible segmentation violations
    when unloading SIAL extension module scripts.
  o Fix for the new "foreach RU" task state qualifier.  Without the
    patch, the runnable tasks are not selected.
  o Fix to disallow multiple task states from being entered using
    the "foreach <task-state>" qualifier.  Without the patch, if
    multiple states were entered, the last one on the command line 
    would be honored.
  o Fix for the "extend" command to allow the usage of 32-bit PPC 
    extension modules.  Without the patch, the command fails with the
    message: "extend: <object>.so: not an ELF format object file".
  o If an input line starts with "#" or "//", then the line will be 
    saved as a comment that is visible when re-cycling through the 
    command history list.
  o Fix for a crash-5.1.9 regression that broke the "bt -g" option.
    Without the patch, the option is ignored completely.
  o Fix for s390x virtual-to-physical translation of virtual
    addresses that are backed by 1MB pages.
  o The s390x has a dumpfile method that creates "live dumps", where
    the kernel continues to run while the dumpfile is being created.
    The initial system banner display and the "sys" command will
    inform the user that the dumpfile is a "[LIVE DUMP]", and the
    "bt -a" option will fail with the message "bt: -a option not
    supported on a live system or live dump".
  o Newly-created dumpfiles generated by the "snap.c" extension module
    will now be recognized as "live dumps".  Accordingly, the initial
    system banner display and the "sys" command will inform the user
    that the dumpfile is a "[LIVE DUMP]", and the "bt -a" option will
    fail with the message "bt: -a option not supported on a live
    system or live dump".
  o If "bt" alone is attempted on an active task in a "live dump", it
    will indicate "(active)", i.e., the same as if it were attempted
    on a live system.
  o If an extension module does not define the appropriate architecture,
    i.e., "-DX86", "-DX86_64", etc., then the inclusion of "defs.h"
    will generate a compiler failure indicating "error: 'NR_CPUS'
    undeclared here (not in a function)".  In that case, the
    architecture will now default to that of the host machine.
  o Prevent a highly-unlikely incorrect calculation of the maximum 
    cpudata array length of a kmem_cache during initialization of 
    of CONFIG_SLAB kernels.
  o Prevent an infinite loop during the initialization of the
    kmem_cache subsystem in CONFIG_SLAB kernels if the cache list or
    the vmcore is corrupt.  If the kmem_cache list links back into
    itself, messages showing the first "duplicate" entry in the list
    and "crash: unable to initialize kmem slab cache subsystem" will
    be displayed.
  o Update to the "mod" command to additionally search for module
    object files in the directory containing the kernel namelist
    (vmlinux) file. This will allow an alternate module-debuginfo
    directory tree to be set up like so:

# cd <directory>
      # rpm2cpio kernel-debuginfo-<release>.rpm | cpio -idv

Having done that, and by referencing the vmlinux file in that
    directory tree directly or by symbolic link, the "mod" command
    will search for module object files starting from the directory
    containing the vmlinux file if they are not found in the standard 
    /lib/modules/<release> directory.
  o Update to the s390x "bt" command if a task was running in
    userspace. Without the patch, the back trace display ended at the
    kernel entry function frame; with the patch, the user space PSW
    register is displayed with a "(user space)" tag, followed by the
    general purpose register set.
  o In the unlikely event that the access of ARM or x86_64 kernel
    unwind table data fails during crash invocation, print a warning
    message and allow the crash session to continue.  Without the
    patch, the crash session would fail immediately.

- Update to crash 6.0.5 from upstream and adjust patch positions
  to match current crash source.
  6.0.5 changelog is:
  o Enhancement to the "foreach" command to allow any of the "name"
    arguments to be POSIX extended regular expressions.  The
    expression string must be encompassed by "'" characters, and
    will be matched against the names of all tasks.
  o Fix for the embedded gdb module's "ptype" command, and by
    extension, the crash utility's "struct" command, to be able to
    fully display embedded structure or union members of a
    structure/union.  Without the patch, if a structure or union is
    a member of a structure or union that is a member of a
    structure or union, then it is displayed as "struct {...}" or
    "union {...}".
  o Extend the "ps -l" output to also display the task state next
    to its last_run/timestamp value.
  o Enhancement to the "foreach" command which adds a new "state"
    task-indentifier argument that filters tasks by their task
    state. The state argument may be any of the task states
    displayed by the "ps" command: RU, IN, UN, ST, ZO, SW or DE.
  o Implemented a new pc->cmd_cleanup function pointer and an
    optional pc->cmd_cleanup_arg argument that will allow any
    command to register a function and an optional argument that
    will be called after a command has completed successfully, or
    more likely, unsuccessfully. Normally the only cleanup required
    for a command is the freeing of buffers that were allocated
    with GETBUF(), but that is performed automatically after each
    command is run.  However, with the introduction of the new
    POSIX regular expression functionality of the "foreach"
    command, there needed to be a way to call regfree() in the case
    where where regcomp() was called successfully, but then the
    command later encountered one of several fatal error
    conditions. This facility is also available for use by
    extension module commands.
  o Enforce the usage of a kernel thread's pgd from its active_mm
    for the ARM "vtop -c" command; if its active_mm is NULL, make
    the command fail similarly to the other architectures,
    displaying the error message "vtop: no active_mm for this
    kernel thread".
  o Fix for the x86_64 "bt" command running against recent kernels
    if an active task was operating on its IRQ stack when the crash
    occurred.  Without the patch, the determination of the IRQ
    exception frame was off-by-8, displaying invalid register data
    and the error message "bt: WARNING: possibly bogus exception
    frame".
  o Update to handle the vfsmount structure change in 3.3 kernels,
    in which most members of the vfsmount structure have been moved
    into a new "struct mount", and the vfsmount structure has been
    embedded in the new mount structure.  Without the patch, the
    following commands will fail, displaying the following error
    messages:

mount: "mount: invalid structure member offset: vfsmount_mnt_list"
      files: "files: invalid structure member offset: dentry_d_covers"
         vm: "vm: invalid structure member offset: dentry_d_covers"
       swap: "swap: invalid structure member offset: dentry_d_covers
      fuser: "files: invalid structure member offset: dentry_d_covers"

The "fuser" command generates the above error because it uses
    the "files" command behind the scenes.
  o Fix for the "ps" command to prevent the display of "??" under
    the ST (task state) column.  Without the patch, in more recent
    kernels, if more than one bit were set in the task_struct.state
    field, the state would display "??".  With the fix, the primary
    state will always be displayed.
  o Update to the output of the "set" command when it displays a
    task's state.  Without the patch, if more than one bit was set
    in the task_struct.state field, "STATE: (unknown)" would be
    displayed.  With the fix, all bits in both the task_struct.state
    and task_struct.exit_state fields are translated.
  o Implemented a new "vm -P <vma-address>" option, which is similar
    to "vm -p", but only does the page translations of the specified
    VM area of a context.
  o Add support for the Freescale PowerPC e500mc version of the E500
    processor chipset, and rework the PPC platform-specific code in
    order to more easily support new processors.
  o Implemented a new "gdb" crash environment variable that can be
    used to alter a crash session's behavior such that all commands
    are passed directly to the embedded gdb module.  The new mode
    is turned on and off by entering "set gdb on" and "set gdb off".
    When running in this mode, the command prompt will be "gdb>".
    In order to execute native crash commands while running in this
    mode, precede the command with the "crash" directive, for
    example, "crash ps".
  o Fix for a "*** stack smashing detected ***: crash terminated"
    failure during the initial system banner display on a 32-bit
    PPC platform.
  o Redesigned/simplified the internal read_string() function to
    prevent a potential segmentation violation.
  o Updates for the 32-bit PPC "vtop" command output:

(1) Translate kernel virtual addresses for FSL BOOKE by using 
          the TLBCAM setting
      (2) Remove the PMD line from the display
      (3) Fix the displayed PHYSICAL values of FSL BOOKE PTE format

o Fix for crash invocation failure on 3.3-era kernels in which
    the former standalone "xtime" timespec structure has been moved
    into the "timekeeper" structure.  Without the patch, the crash
    session would fail early on with the message "crash: cannot
    resolve: xtime". The patch also prevents the crash session
    failure in the unlikely event that the timespec access fails.

- Update to crash 6.0.4 from upstream and adjust patch locations
  to match current crash source.
  6.0.4 changelog is:
  o Fix to allow the recently-added "mod -g" and "mod -r" options
    to be used together.
  o Additional update for 3.1.x and later kernels configured with
    CONFIG_SLAB, which have replaced the kmem_cache.nodelists[]
    array with a pointer to an outside array.
  o Document the "crash [-h|--help] all" option in the crash.8 man 
    page and in the "crash [-h|--help]" output.
  o Fix the S390/S390X-specific "s390dbf" command's "hex_ascii"
    debug data printing routine to prevent the display of
    non-ASCII characters.
  o Fix for ARM stack unwinding on 3.2 and later kernels due to
    commit:
      http://git.kernel.org/linus/de66a979012dbc66b1ec0125795a3f79ee667b8a
  o Implemented a new "search -x <count>" option that displays the
    memory contents before and after any found search target.
  o  Fix for the x86_64 Xen hypervisor "bt" command.  Without the
     patch, the contents of the RDX register in exception frames
     incorrectly shows the contents of the RCX register.
  o Implementation of a platform-based vmalloc address translation
    scheme for the 32-bit PPC architecture, introducing suppport
    for the PPC44X platform while maintaining the current default
    platform.
  o Fix for the usage of native gdb commands where the command
    output is redirected to a pipe and then redirected to a file.
  o Fix to prevent a crash session that is run over a network
    connection that is killed/removed from going into 100%
    cpu-time loop.
  o Fix for the support of PPC64 compressed kdumps, a regression
    that was introduced in crash-6.0.3 when support for 32-bit PPC
    compressed kdumps was implemented.
  o Fix for the x86_64 "bt" command to prevent the possible
    skipping of the stack frame just above an exception frame that
    indicates "[exception RIP: unknown or invalid address]".
  Patches with modified target locations are:
    crash-make-emacs-default.diff
    crash-sles9-time.patch
    crash-crosscrash-hint.diff
    crash-missing-declarations.patch

    CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM, CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM_MANUAL and CONFIG_NUMA
    all configured
  o Fix for the "vtop" command on large NUMA X86 kernels where a
    node's starting physical address is larger than 32-bits
  o Update for the ARM architecture to recognize a recent change
    of its vmlinux section name from ".init" to ".init.text"
  o Significant speed increase of the "kmem -p" command, especially
    on large-memory systems
  o Implemented new "irq -a" and "irq -s" options
  o Removal of a redundant read of the kernel's __per_cpu_offset
    pointers in the ARM architecture's arm_get_crash_notes()
    function
  o Fix for an ARM architecture segmentation violation because of a
    stack overflow due to recursion in the page table translation
    code
  o Fix for the the "FREE HIGH" tally in the X86 "kmem -i" display
  o Fix for the "kmem -n" output display for 32-bit architectures
    that are configured with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM
  o Cleanup of several SIAL extension module files to address bison
    2.5 and gcc 4.4.3 compile-time warnings
  o Fix for "net -[sS]" command options on the ARM architecture
  o Fix for the ARM "bt" command to allow the core kernel unwind
    tables to be used in cases where the module unwind tables are
    inaccessible
  o Implementation of a new "dev -d" option that displays disk
    device I/O statistics
  o Update for 3.1.x and later kernels configured with CONFIG_SLAB,
    which have replaced the kmem_cache.nodelists[] array with a
    pointer to an  outside array
  o Implemented build and code for analysis of 32-bit PPC
    compressed kdump vmcores
  o Prevent the "runq" command from dumping an unending loop of
    tasks if the CFS runqueue has been corrupted
  o Repurposed/renamed the rarely-used and rarely-needed "mod -r"
    option to "mod -R"
  o Implemented a new "mod -r" option, which will pass the
    "-readnow" flag to the embedded gdb module, which will override
    the two-stage strategy that it uses for reading symbol tables
    from module object files
  o Performance increase for the "kmem -s <address>" option on 
    kernels configured with CONFIG_SLAB, most notably on kernels
    whose kmem_cache.array[NR_CPUS] array is several pages in size
  o Require that the "<slabname>" argument to "kmem -s <slabname>" 
    be escaped with a '\' character in two situations:
    (1) in the highly-unlikely case of a kmem_cache slab named
        "list", to prevent the ambiguity with the "kmem -s list"
        command option.
    (2) if the first character of the <slabname> actually is a '\'
        character
  Modifications to compile are as follows:
  o Replacement of crash-6.0.2.tar.gz with crash-6.0.3.tar.gz
  o Remove crash-wrong-memset.patch the fix is present in 6.0.3
  o Remove crash-add-read-diags.patch the change is in 6.0.3

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jan  3 20:09:41 UTC 2011 - dmair@novell.com

- Update to 5.1.1
  o Fix for the potential to miss tasks when walking the pid_hash
    table in 2.6.24 and later kernels.  Without the patch, the task
    will simply not be seen in the gathered task list.

o Enhancement for the ARM architecture's "bt" command  to print
    out the user space register set for tasks entering the kernel
    via the syscall entry point.

o Rework of the handling of "set" commands that are put in 
    .crashrc files so that only the following options are resolved
    prior to session initialization: silent, console, core, edit,
    namelist, and zero_excluded.  All others are resolved
    immediately after session initialization is complete.
    Accordingly, the use of "set -c <cpu>", "set -p",
    "set -a [task|pid]" and set [pid|task]" are now acceptable
    .crashrc commands.

o The entering of "set -v" in a .crashrc file would cause an
    immediate segmentation violation.  The "set" command rework
    above defers the command until session initialization is
    complete.

o The entering of "set dumpfile <filename>" in a .crashrc file
    would cause a fatal "seek" error during session initalization
    with most most dumpfile types, so the "dumpfile" option has
    been removed from the "set" command.

o The execution of "alias" commands from a .crashrc file used to
    be performed immediately; that behavior has been changed so
    that they are executed immediately after session initialization
    is complete.

o Enhancement of the "repeat" command to allow command aliases.

o Fix for running "kmem -s" on a live system if an offline cpu is
    brought back online while the command is executing.  Without
    the patch, the online operation may cause a segmentation
    violation.

o Change the behavior of "bt -[tT]" to allow the command options
    to be run on active tasks on live systems.  Without the patch,
    both command options would display the task data banner
    followed by "(active)".

o Fix for the ARM architecuture's "irq" command when run on
    2.6.36 and later kernels.  Without the patch, the command fails
    with the error message "irq: invalid kernel virtual address: 23
    type: irq_chip typename".   The fix replaces the custom ARM IRQ
    dumping function with the architecture-neutral version.

o Introduced support for using /proc/kcore as an alternative
    source of live memory to /dev/mem.  Doing so allows vmalloc
    memory access on 32-bit architectures when the underlying
    mapped physical memory is in highmem, which is not allowed by
    the /dev/mem driver.  It would also be usable on systems that
    are configured with CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM but still configured
    with CONFIG_PROC_KCORE.  To enforce the use of /proc/kcore, it
    may be entered on the command line.

o If a live crash session attempts to use /dev/mem as a live
    memory source, and it is determined that the system is
    configured with CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM, /proc/kcore will
    automatically be tried as an alternative.

o Fix to allow "/dev/crash" to be entered on the command line for
    live sessions.  Because it is used automatically if it exists,
    it is never necessary to enter it on the command line.  However,
    if it is used, without the patch, the session fails during
    initializaion with the error message "crash: /dev/crash: No
    such file or directory" if the crash.ko driver is a module, or
    "crash: /dev/crash: not a supported file format" if the driver
    is built into the kernel.

o Fix for the ARM "bt" command to address the issue behind faulty
    warning messages that indicate "WARNING: UNWIND: unsupported
    personality routine".

o Fix for the ARM "bt" command to address the issue behind faulty
    warning messages that indicate "bt: WARNING: UNWIND: cannot

  o Show hexadecimal values in the "INDEX" colum of "kmem -p",
    because because "page.index" is typically a shared-use field
    that may also contain a pointer value.

  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

    (instead of 0)
  o Change the cursor location when cycling through the command history
    in "vi" editing mode (the default)

    descriptor structures that are located beyond a 4GB file offset
    in the vmcore file

  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

    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-

    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.

    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.
