File crash-update-recognition-of-x86_64-CPU_ENTRY_AREA.patch of Package crash.24896

From: Dave Anderson <anderson@redhat.com>
Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2018 10:58:00 -0400
Subject: Update the recognition of x86_64 CPU_ENTRY_AREA
References: bsc#1090127, bsc#1104743
Upstream: merged
Git-commit: da49e2010b3cb88b4755d69d38fe90af6ba218b2

Update for the recognition of the new x86_64 CPU_ENTRY_AREA virtual
address range introduced in Linux 4.15.  The memory range exists
above the vmemmap range and below the mapped kernel static text/data
region, and where all of the x86_64 exception stacks have been moved.
Without the patch, reads from the new memory region fail because the
address range is not recognized as a legitimate virtual address.
Most notable is the failure of "bt" on tasks whose backtraces
originate from any of the exception stacks, which fail with the two
error messages "bt: seek error: kernel virtual address: <address>
type: stack contents" followed by "bt: read of stack at <address>
failed".
