Thu Sep 25 2008 Dave Anderson <anderson@redhat.com> - 4.0-7.2.3
Fix for the incomplete resolution for the "search -k" option when
run on RHEL5 ia64 CONFIG_SPARSEMEM kernels. The initial fix
addressed the segmentation violation, but on certain physical
memory configurations, it would prematurely bail out when making
the transition from the kernel mapped region to the vmalloc region.
- Resolves: rhbz#458417
-
Tue Sep 23 2008 Dave Anderson <anderson@redhat.com> - 4.0-7.2.2
Fix for x86 "bt" command to correctly handle the transition from
the hard IRQ stack back to the process stack and then display
the interrupt exception frame.
- Resolves: rhbz#462624
-
Mon Sep 15 2008 Dave Anderson <anderson@redhat.com> - 4.0-7.2.1
- Fix to prevent a potential divide-by-zero SIGFPE exception when
using a vmlinux that does not match the vmcore being analyzed.
This is a bad, but acceptable, practice, although when done, it
usually requires adding a System.map file to the command line
so that the correct symbol values are used; that was not done
in this case.
- Resolves: rhbz#457371
- Fix for the crash utility's "search -u" option, which searches
the current context's user virtual address space for a given value.
It would cause a SIGSEGV when run on a xen-syms hypervisor binary,
and gives a somewhat misleading error message when run on vmlinux
binary on a kernel thread. Both of these usages are nonsensical
because the xen-syms hypervisor and vmlinux kernel threads do not
have user address space regions. Fix for the "search -k" option,
which searches the kernel virtual address space for a given value.
When run on a xen-syms hypervisor binary, it would display a
nonsensical vmlinux-based error message. That option should not
be used with the xen-syms hypervisor, which requires that a starting
virtual address be supplied. The fix now displays error messages
that are applicable to the incorrect command usage.
- Resolves: rhbz#457373
Fix for the "search -k" option when run on RHEL5 ia64 CONFIG_SPARSEMEM
kernels. It would cause a segmentation violation, because it would
start the search at the base of the ia64 processor's identity-mapped
region, which is not necessarily backed by physical memory, and result
in a SIGSEGV. The fix sets the start of the ia64 kernel virtual address
space search to the appropriate virtual address.
- Resolves: rhbz#458417
Enhancement for invoking crash with an input-file of crash commands
using the -i command-line option, as in "crash -i <input-file> ...",
and doing so from inside a script file instead of the command line.
It would indicates "crash: /dev/tty: No such device or address", run
the commands in the input-file, but then would hang. The fix terminates
the crash session after all of the commands in the input-file have
completed.
- Resolves: rhbz#458422
