** Description changed:
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.
