Public bug reported: New Upstream release for crash and makedumpfile
[Impact] This release addresses a number of bug fixes and compatibility patches. Following bugs have been fixed in the release: - LP #2164524: Crash-utility live session fails solid with a SEGV - LP #2164550: Crash fails to open with latest 7.0 kernels in Noble Updated makedumpfile is needed to work with crash. [Upstream Changes] Changelog crash-9.0.2: https://crash-utility.github.io/changelog/ChangeLog-9.0.2.txt Changelog makedumpfile: https://github.com/makedumpfile/makedumpfile/compare/1.7.6...1.7.7 [Test Plan] Checklist: - Crash can open dumps for the GA kernel on supported architectures - Crash can open dumps for the HWE kernel on supported architectures - Update the list of previous crash updates under this SRU Exception below The test plan followed for each kernel combination is as follows: 1. Install the kernel’s debug symbols packages 2. Install the updated crash/makedumpfile packages as well as kdump-tools and kexec-tools packages 3. Ensure the system is ready to capture the dump using sudo kdump-config show. Reboot if necessary. 4. Trigger kernel crash (i.e echo c | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger) 5. Once the machine reboots, see if crash is able to load the dumpfile against kernel’s debug symbols file (i.e crash <DEBUG_SYM_FILE> <DUMP_FILE>. Attached are the console logs for each combination. Once the regression testing is completed by kernel team, they are responsible to add a comment to approve the release of package(s) to updates. This approval is mandatory for release. [Where problems could occur] This release for crash and makedumpfile includes several patches touching various subsystems. Problems can occur in creation of core dump generated through makedumpfile, or while starting crash utility or while parsing dump generated through makedumpfile. [Other Info] Crash 9.0.2 was already tested to open makedumpfile 1.7.7 generated dumpfiles and no errors were noticed on noble GA and HWE kernels on amd64 architecture. Kernel testing infrastructure will take care of running the tests against other architectures. ** Affects: crash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2164589 Title: New upstream release for crash 9.0.2 and makedumpfile 1.7.7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/crash/+bug/2164589/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
