RE: [Crash-utility] crash version 4.0-3.18 is available
by Castor Fu
Xavier:
I suspect that if rpc_execute is duplicated, there are other duplicated
symbols
and so we matched some other symbol, got another offset, and at that
point we're headed down the wrong path. It hadn't occurred to me that
there could be conflicts, but in retrospect it makes sense.
Not quite sure how to resolve this. I'd hate to trust that we could
reliably
duplicate Linux'es module loading algorithm.

Subject: Re: [Crash-utility] crash version 4.0-3.18 is available
Hi Dave and all
I still have some problems with module symbols on ia64. (I built crash
4.0-3.17 + 4.0-3.17-to-4.0-3.18.patch).
It seems that when I run the commans:
mod -s <module name>
the text symbol addresses are not the ones provided by kallsyms.
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.
Xavier

Fwd: [PATCH] fix s390x stack dump
by Dave Anderson
Subject: [PATCH] fix s390x stack dump
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 14:51:55 -0800
From: "Kurtis D. Rader" <krader(a)us.ibm.com>
To: crash-utility(a)redhat.com
The s390x_back_trace_cmd() function treats the stack as a sequence of
32-bit words. That's obviously wrong and causes confusion because the
two halves of the 64-bit word gets dumped "backwards"; that is, at the
wrong offset. This patch fixes that. I created it against crash 4.0-3.9 but
it applies cleanly to 4.0-3.17.
