- 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 " 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]".
