    with a version_id of 4.
  o Support KVM dumpfiles from guests that were provisioned with
    more than 3.5GB of RAM.
  o Minor fix to memory.c to address a compiler warning.
  o "mount": Fix a segmentation violation if the "init" task
    (PID 1) does not exist.
  o x86_64: Show "RT" in exception stack name strings on realtime
    (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT) kernels, because RT kernels may use the
    same per-cpu stack for different exception types.
  o Show tasks that could be missed in 2.6.23 and earlier kernels.
  o Fix the incorrect presumption that the kernel's
    task_state_array[] is NULL terminated.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 20 13:38:11 UTC 2010 - ptesarik@novell.com

- Update to 5.0.6

    tasks entering the kernel from user-space.
  o Warn about machine type mismatch when attempting to use a ppc64
    vmlinux file on a non-ppc64 64-bit host.
  o x86_64: Fix the "bt" command if the kdump-generated NMI
    interrupts a multi-threaded task that has just entered kernel
    space and has not changed the user-space RSP register.
  o Allow changing internal variables in --minimal mode with the
    "set" command.
  o x86: Fix the "vtop" command on Xen PAE kernels.
  o x86, x86_64: Support running against live pv_ops/Xen guest
    kernels.
  o x86, x86_64: Support xendump ELF dumpfiles generated from 
    pvops/Xen guest kernels.

    displayed by the "crash -x" command line option when the
    pre-loading of an extension module fails.

    interrupts a task that has just entered kernel space but has
    not yet changed the RSP register to the kernel stack.
  o x86: Fix "bt" if the crash occurs during the execution of a
    kernel module's init_module() function.
  o Fix "kmem -[sS]" on 2.6.34 and later CONFIG_SLUB kernels, which
    changed the kmem_cache.cpu_slab[NR_CPUS] array to be a per-cpu
    offset value.
  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 Fix "kmem <address>" if the kernel's free page lists are
    corrupt, or in a state of flux, and cannot be followed.
  o Support newer "virsh dump"-generated KVM formats that may
    contain "block" and "kvmclock" devices in the dumpfile header.
  o Support "virsh dump"-generated KVM dumpfiles of a RHEL5 guest
    from a RHEL6 host, and to support dumpfile format changes
    that contain "apic" and "__rhel5" devices.

    allowing them to be of type 'd' or 'D'.
  o x86_64: Fix a segmentation violation during initialization in
    x86_64_get_active_set().
  o Support KVM dumpfiles created with "virsh dump" that create
    "cpu" header sections using a QEMU CPU_SAVE_VERSION version
    greater than the supported version of 9.
  o x86_64: Fix for KVM dumpfiles created with "virsh dump", whose
    kernels have a "_text" virtual address higher than
    __START_KERNEL_map.
  o Add a "map" command for specifying the memory map of KVM guest
    dumpfiles created with "virsh dump".
  o x86_64: Correctly calculate the physical base address of a
    fully-virtualized RHEL6 guest kernel running on a RHEL5 Xen
    host.
  o x86_64: Fix "bt" on inactive (blocked) tasks for 2.6.33 and
    later kernels, which have the "thread_return" symbol removed
    from the embedded "switch_to" macro.
  o x86: Fix for "bt" on 2.6.33 and later kernels, which moved
    the "system_call" symbol to the .kprobes.text section.
  o Fix a segmentation violation in the "trace" extension module,
    as seen when running "trace show -c <cpu>".
  o Add a "trace dump -t" command for the "trace" extension module.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

- Update to 5.0.3
  o Fix for running against 2.6.34 and later kernels to recognize
    and handle changes in the kernel's per-cpu data symbol naming,
    which no longer prefixes "per_cpu__" to declared per-cpu symbol
    names.
  o Fix for "swap" and "kmem -i" commands on 2.6.29 or later,
    big-endian, ppc64 kernels, where the swap_info_struct.flags
    member was changed from an int to a long.
  o Fix for the "vm" and "ps" command's task RSS value on 2.6.34

    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 -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)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

- Update to 4.0.9
  o New mainline versioning

    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

- 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

    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-

    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
