Description:
crash - kernel debugging utility, allowing gdb like syntax
Changes:
crash (6.0.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream version 6.0.5
* Enhancement to the "foreach" command to allow any of the "name" arguments
to be POSIX extended regular expressions. The expression string must be
encompassed by "'" characters, and will be matched against the names of
all tasks.
* Fix for the embedded gdb module's "ptype" command, and by extension, the
crash utility's "struct" command, to be able to fully display embedded
structure or union members of a structure/union. Without the patch, if a
structure or union is a member of a structure or union that is a member of
a structure or union, then it is displayed as "struct {...}" or "union
{...}".
* Extend the "ps -l" output to also display the task state next to its
last_run/timestamp value.
* Enhancement to the "foreach" command which adds a new "state"
task-indentifier argument that filters tasks by their task state. The
state argument may be any of the task states displayed by the "ps"
command: RU, IN, UN, ST, ZO, SW or DE.
* Implemented a new pc->cmd_cleanup function pointer and an optional
pc->cmd_cleanup_arg argument that will allow any command to register a
function and an optional argument that will be called after a command has
completed successfully, or more likely, unsuccessfully. Normally the only
cleanup required for a command is the freeing of buffers that were
allocated with GETBUF(), but that is performed automatically after each
command is run. However, with the introduction of the new POSIX regular
expression functionality of the "foreach" command, there needed to be a
way to call regfree() in the case where where regcomp() was called
successfully, but then the command later encountered one of several fatal
error conditions. This facility is also available for use by extension
module commands.
* Enforce the usage of a kernel thread's pgd from its active_mm for the ARM
"vtop -c" command; if its active_mm is NULL, make the command fail
similarly to the other architectures, displaying the error message "vtop:
no active_mm for this kernel thread".
* Fix for the x86_64 "bt" command running against recent kernels if an
active task was operating on its IRQ stack when the crash occurred.
Without the patch, the determination of the IRQ exception frame was
off-by-8, displaying invalid register data and the error message "bt:
WARNING: possibly bogus exception frame".
* Update to handle the vfsmount structure change in 3.3 kernels, in which
most members of the vfsmount structure have been moved into a new "struct
mount", and the vfsmount structure has been embedded in the new mount
structure.
* Fix for the "ps" command to prevent the display of "??" under the ST (task
state) column. Without the patch, in more recent kernels, if more than
one bit were set in the task_struct.state field, the state would display
"??". With the fix, the primary state will always be displayed.
* Update to the output of the "set" command when it displays a task's state.
Without the patch, if more than one bit was set in the task_struct.state
field, "STATE: (unknown)" would be displayed. With the fix, all bits in
both the task_struct.state and task_struct.exit_state fields are
translated.
* Implemented a new "vm -P <vma-address>" option, which is similar to "vm
- p", but only does the page translations of the specified VM area of a
context.
* Add support for the Freescale PowerPC e500mc version of the E500 processor
chipset, and rework the PPC platform-specific code in order to more easily
support new processors.
* Implemented a new "gdb" crash environment variable that can be used to
alter a crash session's behavior such that all commands are passed
directly to the embedded gdb module. The new mode is turned on and off by
entering "set gdb on" and "set gdb off". When running in this mode, the
command prompt will be "gdb>". In order to execute native crash commands
while running in this mode, precede the command with the "crash"
directive, for example, "crash ps".
* Fix for a "*** stack smashing detected ***: crash terminated" failure
during the initial system banner display on a 32-bit PPC platform.
* Redesigned/simplified the internal read_string() function to prevent a
potential segmentation violation.
* Updates for the 32-bit PPC "vtop" command output: (1) Translate kernel
virtual addresses for FSL BOOKE by using the TLBCAM setting (2) Remove the
PMD line from the display (3) Fix the displayed PHYSICAL values of FSL
BOOKE PTE format
* Fix for crash invocation failure on 3.3-era kernels in which the the
former standalone "xtime" timespec structure has been moved into the
"timekeeper" structure. Without the patch, the crash session would fail
early on with the message "crash: cannot resolve: xtime". The patch also
prevents the crash session failure in the unlikely event that the timespec
access fails.
