Description:
crash - kernel debugging utility, allowing gdb like syntax
Changes:
crash (5.1.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Implemented support for using vmlinux files that have been compressed with
either gzip or bzip2. For examples:
# crash vmlinux.gz vmcore
# crash vmlinuz.bz2
The uncompressed file will be temporarily stored either in /var/tmp or in
the directory specified in a TMPDIR shell environment variable. The
compressed filename must at least begin with "vmlinux" so as to avoid any
attempt to uncompress a vmcore file. Gzip'd vmlinux files are preferable
since the uncompress operation is less time-consuming.
* Prevent an unnecessary warning message that was introduced in version
5.1.0 that indicates "WARNING: cannot read .debug_frame data from
<namelist>" when running against vmlinux executables that have a separate
".debug" debuginfo file, such as RHEL3 vmlinux kernels. With the patch,
the message is only printed if CRASHDEBUG(1).
* Fix for the x86_64 "bt" command if the shutdown NMI is issued to a 32-bit
task that has executed a "sysenter" instruction and the RSP still contains
the zero value loaded from the MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP register. Without
the patch, the backtrace issues a warning message indicating "WARNING:
possibly bogus exception frame", and is unable to make a transition from
the NMI exception stack.
* Fixes for the gdb-7.0 sources to address gcc-4.6 compile failures.
Without the patch, gcc-4.6 generates "error: variable ‘<variable>’ set but
not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]" fatal errors when the
(default) -Werror flag is used. Previous gcc versions considered local
variables were simply set to some value to be "used", but that is no
longer the case.
* Fixes for the top-level crash sources to address gcc-4.6 compiler warnings
or errors. Without the patch, building with gcc-4.6 would generate
numerous "error: variable ‘<variable>’ set but not used
[-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]" errors or warnings, depending upon
whether "make warn" or "make Warn" was used.
* Removed -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 from the WARNING_OPTIONS string due to a
memmove() oddity seen when using it in conjunction with -O2 with gcc-4.6.
* Implemented three new options for the "search" command. This patch adds
the -c option to search for character strings, the -w option to search for
unsigned hexadecimal integer values, and -h to search for unsigned
hexadecimal short values. The integer and short values are searched on
integer and short alignments respectively. The -w option is only
meaningful on 64-bit systems, to be used in order to search both the upper
and lower 32-bits of each 64-bit long for the 32-bit value. Strings are
searched across contiguous page boundaries, where the page boundaries
being crossed are relevant to the memory type being searched, i.e., kernel
virtual, user virtual, or physical memory.
* Restrict the new "search -p" option to physical memory pages that have an
mem_map page structure assigned to them.
* Hardwire the declaration of the user_regs_struct in x86_64.c for kernels
whose debuginfo data does not contain it.
* Fix for compiler warnings when building makedumpfile.c and memory.c with
"make warn" on 32-bit systems.
* Fix to more correctly determine the KVM I/O hole size and location. The
I/O hole size to this point in time is either 1GB or 512MB, but its
setting is hardwired into the Qemu code that was used to create the
dumpfile. The dumpfile is a "savevm" file that is designed to be used for
guest migration, and since inter-version save/load is not supported, the
I/O hole information does not have to encoded into the dumpfile. Without
the patch, the I/O hole for dumpfiles created by older Qemu version was
not being set to 1GB, so if the KVM guest was configured with more than
3GB of memory, the crash session would typically display numerous "read
error" messages during session initialization.
* Fix for the x86 "bt" command on RHEL6 kernels that contain a backport of
upstream commit a00e817f42663941ea0aa5f85a9d1c4f8b212839, which moved x86
irq-exit functions to a special .kprobes.text section. Without this
patch, "bt" would show nonsensical backtraces that begin and end with the
"ia32_sysenter_target" function, and would dump an invalid kernel-entry
exception frame.
* Fix for the x86 "bt" command to fix a possible failure to backtrace a
non-active "swapper" task. Without the patch, the backtrace would fail
with the error message "bt: cannot resolve stack trace".
* Fix for the x86 "bt" command to prevent the display of a stale interrupt
exception frame left on the stack of a non-active task.
