Changelog: - Updated the embedded gdb version to FSF gdb-7.3.1. This change is required for kernels built with gcc-4.6.1, which now defaults to using -gdwarf-4. When using prior versions of crash on such a vmlinux file, it fails immediately with the message "Dwarf Error: wrong version in compilation unit header (is 4, should be 2) [in module vmlinux]" followed by "crash: vmlinux: no debugging data available". ([email protected]) - Incremental patch for the SADUMP dumpfile support that was introduced in crash-5.1.8. The patchset fixes minor bugs, cleans up the sadump module, addresses the issue of gathering the first 640KB backup from a kdump-enabled kernel, prepares for makedumpfile's support of the SADUMP format, and has "bt" display the stored register set when the compressed kdump was generated from an SADUMP dumpfile. ([email protected]) - Fix for the "gdb" command, or any command that resolves to a gdb command, to allow redirection to a pipe or file. This addresses a regression that was introduced by an unrelated "gdb" command fix in crash-5.1.4 that prevented the stripping of quotation marks from the input line. Without the patch, redirection of a "gdb" command to a pipe or file fails with the error message "gdb: gdb request failed: <original-command-line-including-redirection>". ([email protected]) - Fix for live system analysis of 32-bit PPC kernels. Without the patch, the session would fail after displaying the error message: WARNING: machine type mismatch: crash utility: PPC vmlinux: (unknown) ([email protected]) - Fix to allow vmalloc memory access on 32-bit PPC kernels. Without the patch, the warning message "WARNING: cannot access vmalloc'd module memory" would be displayed during invocation, and kernel virtual memory that was vmalloc'd could not be accessed. ([email protected]) - Fix to correctly gather task addresses from 32-bit PPC kernels. Without the patch, during invocation a stream of error messages indicating "crash: invalid task address in pid_hash: <address>" would be displayed. ([email protected]) - Fix for the "bt" command in 32-bit PPC kernels. Without the patch, the "bt" command would generate a segmentation violation.
