- Implementation of 7.0.3 from upstream and patch refresh.
- Fix for the ARM architecture if the backtrace unwind information
cannot be gathered during session initialization. Without the patch,
the two unwind-related warning messages indicating "WARNING: UNWIND:
failed to gather unwind_table list" and "WARNING: UNWIND: failed to
initialize module unwind tables" are followed by the fatal error
message "crash: cannot hash task_struct entries".

- Fix for the "help -[Dn]" dumpfile information display of the GUID EFI
table in the header of SADUMP dumpfiles. Without the patch, only 33
of the 36 bytes in the table are translated.

- Fix for the determination of the kernel NR_CPUS configurable for
Linux 3.8 and later kernels that are configured with CONFIG_SLAB.
Without the patch, the kernel's compiled-in NR_CPUS value was
incorrectly calculated to be the sum of the kernel's NR_CPUS and
MAX_NUMNODES configurables.

- In the next release of makedumpfile, the status field of the
dumpfile header of compressed kdumps will show the compression
type that was utilized. The "help -[Dn]" output has been updated
to display that information.

- For kernels configured with CONFIG_SLAB in which an array_cache
pointer referenced by a kmem_cache structure is invalid, the
individual cache(s) will be marked as invalid. During session
initialization, the message "crash: kmem_cache: :
invalid array_cache pointer" will be displayed, and during runtime,
attempts to access the cache(s) will result in a message indicating (forwarded request 207895 from dmair)
