Hi. This patchset fixes the length of bitmap and it adds the analysis feature of ppc64 to makedumpfile. Your opinions/comments are welcome.
- [PATCH 1/3] Fix the length of bitmap This patch fixes the problem on some machines when -d is specified, that caused the crash utility not to recognize the excluded pages. makedumpfile creates 2 bitmaps (1st-bitmap & 2nd-bitmap) on block_size boundary and crash required both of them to be aligned to block_size boundary, but the old version only aligned one of them. This patch changes the length of the bitmaps and aligns both bitmaps to block_size boundary. - [PATCH 2/3] Support ppc64 This patch adds ppc64 support to makedumpfile, and it can run on ppc64. This patch was created by Sachin Sant. - [PATCH 3/3] Update the version info of makedumpfile The latest makedumpfile(ver. 1.0.5) is based on makedumpfile from me(2006/11/15) with all my patches applied. You can get the latest makedumpfile from the following URL. https://sourceforge.net/projects/makedumpfile/ Method of installation: You can compile the makedumpfile command as follows; 1. "tar -zxvf makedumpfile-1.0.5.tar.gz" 2. "cd makedumpfile" 3.
