[PATCH] take Hardware Error & kernel pointer bug as separate panicmsg
by drc＠yahoo-inc.com
There are just too many kinds of panic types are categorized under
the same Oops: xxxx, makes this field really ambiguous and not so useful
PANIC: "Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP " (check log for details)
this patch separated 3 kinds of panicmsg out, as the most happening cases
among the machines managed by me; the match string are copied
from kernel source code exactly, after applied, I got panicmsg like:
include/linux/kernel.h:#define HW_ERR
panicmsg: "[Hardware Error]: CPU 7: Machine Check Exception: 5 Bank 11: f200003f000100b2"

panicmsg: "SysRq : Trigger a crash"

OK cool. Just let me know if you have something to test for me.
I compile crash on my embedded ARM target systems also as a test how
stable they whole system is. It might take hours to compile ;)

Good catch. Apparently the ARM users and maintainers on this list don't
ever run "live" as you are doing. And since I don't have any ARM hardware,
I can only test it on supplied dumpfiles with an x86 binary built with
"make target=ARM".
The problem is this patch that went into crash-7.0.9:
Improve the method for determining whether a 32-bit ARM vmlinux is
an LPAE enabled kernel by first checking whether CONFIG_ARM_LPAE
exists in the vmcoreinfo data, and if it does not, by then checking
whether the next higher symbol above "swapper_pg_dir" is 0x5000 bytes
higher in value.

I appreciate the bug report -- I'll post something today for crash-7.1.0.

Hi,
It looks like crash-7.0.9 is broken on ARM, while 7.0.8 works without
any problems.
I compiled both versions on my ARM target board exactly the same way,
but 7.0.9 throws a core dump when invoked.[1]

[PATCH] fix missing RT PRIO_ARRAY table with CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=n
by Mitsuya Shibata
On the kernel with CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=n, the "RT PRIO_ARRAY" table of runq
command always empty, nevertheless exists "rt_sched_class" task.
This cause to substract offset "task_struct->rt - task_struct" only if there is
my_q member (ie. CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=y). Therefore dump_RT_prio_array()
passes the address of "rt member of task_struct" to task_to_context().
This patch ensure to pass the address of "task_struct" to task_to_context().

What is the unit for 'last_arrival' in 'task_struct.sched_info.last_arrival'.
by Saravanan Palanisamy
Hi,
What is the unit for 'last_arrival' in
'task_struct.sched_info.last_arrival' ?
I see that this value is used by 'ps -l' crash-utility command.
>>
-l display the task last_run or timestamp value, whichever applies,
of selected, or all, tasks; the list is sorted with the most
recently-run task (largest last_run/timestamp) shown first.
>>
I see that this value (16 decimal digits) is much higher than jiffies
value (10 decimal digits) in my crash dumps.
This value (unsigned long long) seems to be equal to the 'jiffies'
(unsigned long) value when the task was scheduled.
