Right -- just the first make command will suffice, i.e., when running
on an x86_64 host:
$ wget http://people.redhat.com/anderson/crash-6.0.4.tar.gz
$ tar xzf crash-6.0.4.tar.gz
...
$ cd crash-6.0.4
$ make target=X86
...
$ ./crash <path-to>/vmlinux <path-to>/vmcore

[PATCH] kmem, snap: iomem/ioport display and vmcore snapshot support
by HATAYAMA Daisuke
Some days ago I was in a situation that I had to convert vmcore in
kvmdump format into ELF since some extension module we have locally
can be used only on relatively old crash utility, around version 4,
but such old crash utility cannot handle kvmdump format.
To do the conversion in handy, I used snap command with some modifications
so that it tries to use iomem information in vmcore instead of host's
/proc/iomem. This patch is its cleaned-up version.
In this development, I naturally got down to also making an interface
for an access to resource objects, and so together with the snap
command's patch, I also extended kmem command for iomem/ioport
support. Actually:
kmem -r displays /proc/iomem
crash> kmem -r
00000000-0000ffff : reserved
00010000-0009dbff : System RAM
0009dc00-0009ffff : reserved
000c0000-000c7fff : Video ROM
...
and kmem -R displays /proc/ioport
crash> kmem -R
0000-001f : dma1
0020-0021 : pic1
0040-0043 : timer0
0050-0053 : timer1
...
Looking into old version of kernel source code back, resource structure
has been unchanged since linux-2.4.0. I borrowed the way of walking on
resouce tree in this patch from the lastest v3.3-rc series, but I
guess the logic is also applicable to old kernels. I expect Dave's
regression testsuite.
Also, there would be another command more sutable for iomem/ioport.
If necessay, I'll repost the patch.

Just to be clear -- what do you mean by the "second" kernel? Do you
mean that a guest kernel crashed guest, and did a kdump operation,
and that second kdump kernel failed somehow, and now you're trying
to do a "virsh dump" on the kdump kernel?

question about phys_base
by Wen Congyang
Hi, Dave
I am implementing a new dump command in the qemu. The vmcore's
format is elf(like kdump). And I try to provide phys_base in
the PT_LOAD. But if the os uses the first vcpu do kdump, the
value of phys_base is wrong.
I find a function x86_64_virt_phys_base() in crash's code.
Is it OK to call this function first? If the function
successes, we do not calculate phys_base according to PT_LOAD.
Thanks

[PATCH] runq: search current task's runqueue explicitly
by HATAYAMA Daisuke
Currently, runq sub-command doesn't consider CFS runqueue's current
task removed from CFS runqueue. Due to this, the remaining CFS
runqueus that follow the current task's is not displayed. This patch
fixes this by making runq sub-command search current task's runqueue
explicitly.
Note that CFS runqueue exists for each task group, and so does CFS
runqueue's current task, and the above search needs to be done
recursively.
Test
====
On vmcore I made 7 task groups:
root group --- A --- AA --- AAA
+ +- AAB
|
+- AB --- ABA
+- ABB
and then I ran three CPU bound tasks, which is exactly the same as
int main(void) { for (;;) continue; return 0; }
for each task group, including root group; so total 24 tasks. For
readability, I annotated each task name with its belonging group name.
For example, loop.ABA belongs to task group ABA.
Look at CPU0 collumn below. [before] lacks 8 tasks and [after]
successfully shows all tasks on the runqueue, which is identical to
the result of [sched debug] that is expected to ouput correct result.
I'll send this vmcore later.

[RFC] makedumpfile, crash: LZO compression support
by HATAYAMA Daisuke
Hello,
This is a RFC patch set that adds LZO compression support to
makedumpfile and crash utility. LZO is as good as in size but by far
better in speed than ZLIB, leading to reducing down time during
generation of crash dump and refiltering.
How to build:
1. Get LZO library, which is provided as lzo-devel package on recent
linux distributions, and is also available on author's website:
http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/.
2. Apply the patch set to makedumpfile v1.4.0 and crash v6.0.0.
3. Build both using make. But for crash, do the following now:
$ make CFLAGS="-llzo2"
How to use:
I've newly used -l option for lzo compression in this patch. So for
example, do as follows:
$ makedumpfile -l vmcore dumpfile
$ crash vmlinux dumpfile
Request of configure-like feature for crash utility:
I would like configure-like feature on crash utility for users to
select wheather to add LZO feature actually or not in build-time,
that is: ./configure --enable-lzo or ./configure --disable-lzo.
The reason is that support staff often downloads and installs the
latest version of crash utility on machines where lzo library is not
provided.
Looking at the source code, it looks to me that crash does some kind
of configuration processing in a local manner, around configure.c,
and I guess it's difficult to use autoconf tools directly.
Or is there another better way?
Performance Comparison:
Sample Data
Ideally, I must have measured the performance for many enough
vmcores generated from machines that was actually running, but now
I don't have enough sample vmcores, I couldn't do so. So this
comparison doesn't answer question on I/O time improvement. This
is TODO for now.
Instead, I choosed worst and best cases regarding compression
ratio and speed only. Specifically, the former is /dev/urandom and
the latter is /dev/zero.
I get the sample data of 10MB, 100MB and 1GB by doing like this:
$ dd bs=4096 count=$((1024*1024*1024/4096)) if=/dev/urandom of=urandom.1GB
How to measure
Then I performed compression for each block, 4096 bytes, and
measured total compression time and output size. See attached
mycompress.c.
Result
See attached file result.txt.
Discussion
For both kinds of data, lzo's compression was considerably quicker
than zlib's. Compression ratio is about 37% for urandom data, and
about 8.5% for zero data. Actual situation of physical memory
would be in between the two cases, and so I guess average
compression time ratio is between 37% and 8.5%.
Although beyond the topic of this patch set, we can estimate worst
compression time on more data size since compression is performed
block size wise and the compression time increases
linearly. Estimated worst time on 2TB memory is about 15 hours for
lzo and about 40 hours for zlib. In this case, compressed data
size is larger than the original, so they are really not used,
compression time is fully meaningless. I think compression must be
done in parallel, and I'll post such patch later.

I think it's not bad to support sadump by makedumpfile. However I have
several questions.
- Do you want to use makedumpfile to make an existing file that sadump has
dumped small?
- It isn't possible to support the same form as kdump-compressed format
now, is it?
- When the information that makedumpfile reads from a note of /proc/vmcore
(or a header of kdump-compressed format) is added by an extension of
makedumpfile, do you need to modify sadump?

[RFC PATCH] struct: Fix handing of percpu symbols
by Aaron Tomlin
Hi Dave,
When a percpu symbol is of type pointer, the 'struct' command does
not generate the expected output. For example:
Note: The correct value of 'exec_start' should be
0x15b070b28b0c27 not 0x0
crash> struct task_struct.se.exec_start softlockup_watchdog:0
[0]: ffff880214e55a00
se.exec_start = 0x0,
crash> px softlockup_watchdog:0-1
per_cpu(softlockup_watchdog, 0) = $1 = (struct task_struct *) 0xffff880fe97e2e00
crash> px ((struct task_struct *)0xffff880fe97e2e00)->se.exec_start
$2 = 0x15b070b28b0c27
Currently, the 'struct' and 'p' command simply calculates 'cpuaddr' as
follows -- where 'addr' is a percpu's value:
cpuaddr = addr + __per_cpu_offset
This is correct if the percpu symbol or offset
(i.e. [percpu symbol:cpu-specifier] or [percpu value:cpu-specifier])
is not of type pointer. If a given percpu symbol is of type pointer such as
in 'static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, softlockup_watchdog)', we
need to dereference the pointer to obtain the above correct kernel virtual
address.
For instance, using the above example, we need to pass the following to gdb
to resolve appropriately:
kernel virtual addresses for the cpus specified.
crash> set gdb on
gdb: on
gdb> p *(struct task_struct **) 0xffff880fffc0ddc0
$1 = (struct task_struct *) 0xffff880fe97e2e00
gdb>
With this patch, we now obtain the expected output:
crash> struct task_struct.se.exec_start softlockup_watchdog:0
[0]: ffff880214e55a00
se.exec_start = 0x15b070b28b0c27,
In short, this patch does the following:
1. Fix the handling of a percpu symbol which are of type pointer
2. The 'struct' and 'p' command is now able to correctly handle a
percpu symbol's value for example:
Note: we show the address of the percpu object irrespective of data type
crash> p f738
PER-CPU DATA TYPE:
struct task_struct *softlockup_watchdog;
PER-CPU ADDRESSES:
[0]: ffff88021e20f738
[1]: ffff88021e24f738
[2]: ffff88021e28f738
[3]: ffff88021e2cf738
crash> p f738:a
per_cpu(softlockup_watchdog, 0) = $5 = (struct task_struct *) 0xffff880214e55a00
per_cpu(softlockup_watchdog, 1) = $6 = (struct task_struct *) 0xffff88021498da00
per_cpu(softlockup_watchdog, 2) = $7 = (struct task_struct *) 0xffff8802149c3c00
per_cpu(softlockup_watchdog, 3) = $8 = (struct task_struct *) 0xffff880214b39e00

[PATCH v5 0/4] arm64: more improvement of bt -f
by AKASHI Takahiro
Changes in v5:
* add a workaround against an exceptional case of backtracing
(See "FIXME" in arm64_back_trace_cmd())
* update comments in arm64_unwind_frame()
* add patch[4/4]
Changes in v4:
* use arm64_on_irq_stack() to check whether or not we are on IRQ stack.
mistakendly used 'flags & IRQ_STACKS'.
* fix a bug at critical timing around switching stacks in arm64_unwind_frame().
We need to take are of a possibility that we get back to process stack,
but fp still points to IRQ stack.
* add patch[2/3]
This should be applied even withtout patch[1/3]
* add patch[3/3]
applying this patch would be a discussion.
AKASHI Takahiro (4):
arm64: more improvement of bt -f
arm64: find a correct starting stackframe at bt
arm64: correct a PC shown in bt
arm64: add VHE support
