[PATCH] Fix typo for 'bf -FF' command
by Austin Kim
When we use 'help bt' command, the instruction of 'bt' is printed as below.
crash> help bt
NAME
bt - backtrace
...
crash> bf -FF
...
#4 [ffff810072b47f10] vfs_write at ffffffff800789d8
ffff810072b47f18: [ffff81007e020380:files_cache] [ffff81007e2c2880:filp]
ffff810072b47f28: 0000000000000002 fffffffffffffff7
ffff810072b47f38: 00002b141825d000 sys_write+69
#5 [ffff810072b47f40] sys_write at ffffffff80078f75
But it seems that 'bf -FF' shows misleading information
because invalid output is displayed using 'bf -FF' command as below.
crash> bf -FF 1
crash: command not found: bf
But 'bt -FF 1' shows valid output.
crash> bt -FF 1

So fix typo for 'bf -FF' command as below to avoid confusion.

[PATCH] crash/arm64: Determine vabits_actual value from 'TCR_EL1.T1SZ' value in vmcoreinfo
by Bhupesh Sharma
I have recently sent a kernel patch upstream to add 'TCR_EL1.T1SZ' to
vmcoreinfo for arm64 (see [0]), instead of VA_BITS_ACTUAL.
'crash' can read the 'TCR_EL1.T1SZ' value from vmcoreinfo
[which indicates the size offset of the memory region addressed by
TTBR1_EL1] and hence can be used for determining the vabits_actual
value.

Undeliverable email sent to crash-utility@redhat.com
by Dave Anderson
There is a new problem that has arisen concerning all Red Hat external mailing
lists that is related to a new DMARC policy that our security team has recently
changed. As a result, the moderators of several Red Hat mailing lists (including
me) have started seeing issues where posts to their mailing lists are being
rejected as Undeliverable. There have been multiple internal support tickets
filed in hopes of a resolution, but there is no workaround that I am aware of
(except for some kind of mailing list configuration that needs to be done at the
sender's site, which is unacceptable).
Hopefully it will be fixed soon. If you receive such a response, please
re-send it and cc: anderson(a)redhat.com.
The response looks like this:
us-smtp-1.mimecast.com rejected your message to the following email addresses:
Discussion list for crash utility usage, maintenance and development (crash-utility(a)redhat.com)
Your message couldn't be delivered. It appears that the email address you sent your message to wasn't found at the destination domain, or the recipient's mailbox is unavailable. The email address might be misspelled or it might not exist. Try to fix the problem by doing one or more of the following:
Send the message again. Before you do, delete and retype the complete address. If your email program automatically suggests an address to use don't select it.
Clear the recipient Auto-Complete List entry in your email program by following the steps in this article. Then resend the message, but before you do, delete and retype the complete address. If your email program suggests an address to use don't select it.
Contact the recipient by some other means (by phone, for example) to confirm you're using the right address. Ask them if they've set up an email forwarding rule that could be forwarding your message to an incorrect address.
If you're still unable to fix the problem, ask the recipient to tell their email admin about the problem, and give them the server that reported the error below.
For Email Admins
When Office 365 tried to send the message, the external email server returned the error below. This error was reported by an email server outside Office 365, and if the sender is unable to fix the problem by correcting the recipient's email address or clearing the Auto-Complete List entry, then it's likely a problem that only the recipient's email admin can fix.
Check the error for information about where the problem is happening. For example, look for a domain name. The domain name will tell you which organization was responsible for the error. The recipient's email server could be causing the problem, or it could be due to a third-party service that your organization or the recipient's organization is using to process or filter email messages.
If you can't fix the problem, contact the responsible party's email admin. This could be the recipient's email admin, your smart host service admin, or someone similar. Give them the error and the name of the server that reported the error to help them troubleshoot the issue.
Unfortunately, Office 365 support is unlikely to be able to help with these kinds of externally reported errors.
us-smtp-1.mimecast.com gave this error:
Remote server returned unknown recipient or mailbox unavailable -> 550 Invalid Recipient - https://community.mimecast.com/docs/DOC-1369#550 [vVcOhPBXNFukJRNZ9UedSA.us264]

Did you finish reading my response from yesterday?
There is no reason to check for (THIS_KERNEL_VERSION < LINUX(4,4,0)), because
the code section will *only* be executed if the kernel is earlier than Linux 4.4.
Again: the "else" section is dead code because it can never be executed:
+ if (THIS_KERNEL_VERSION < LINUX(4,16,0)) {
+ value = symbol_value("swapper_pg_dir") -
+ symbol_value("idmap_pg_dir");
+ } else {
+ if (kernel_symbol_exists("tramp_pg_dir"))
+ value = symbol_value("tramp_pg_dir");
+ else if (kernel_symbol_exists("reserved_ttbr0"))
+ value = symbol_value("reserved_ttbr0");
+ else
+ value = symbol_value("swapper_pg_dir");
+
+ value -= symbol_value("idmap_pg_dir");
+ }
You can just use "swapper_pg_dir" and "idmap_pg_dir".

But we really only need to consider kernels that are earlier than Linux 4.4,
because Linux 4.4 and later kernels will always be able to determine the page
size by reading the kernel flags (if there is no vmcoreinfo). So the code below
that you are patching will only be executed if:
(1) there is no vmcoreinfo, and
(2) no kernel flags (in kernels earlier than Linux 4.4):
That being the case, I don't see how it would ever be possible for the
"else" section below to ever be executed:
+ if (THIS_KERNEL_VERSION < LINUX(4,16,0)) {
+ value = symbol_value("swapper_pg_dir") -
+ symbol_value("idmap_pg_dir");
+ } else {
+ if (kernel_symbol_exists("tramp_pg_dir"))
+ value = symbol_value("tramp_pg_dir");
+ else if (kernel_symbol_exists("reserved_ttbr0"))
+ value = symbol_value("reserved_ttbr0");
+ else
+ value = symbol_value("swapper_pg_dir");
+
+ value -= symbol_value("idmap_pg_dir");
+ }
I was going to suggest checking for (THIS_KERNEL_VERSION < LINUX(4,4,0)),
but I don't think that's even necessary given that the code sequence above
will *only* be executed if the kernel is Linux 4.4 or earlier. So the
"else" section has become dead code.

If it is a kdump, there should be a PAGESIZE vmcoreinfo entry.
As far as I can tell, the PAGE_SIZE has always been exported
as the second item for all architectures here:
static int __init crash_save_vmcoreinfo_init(void)
{
VMCOREINFO_OSRELEASE(init_uts_ns.name.release);
VMCOREINFO_PAGESIZE(PAGE_SIZE);
...
What does "help -D" show for the vmcoreinfo data on your dumpfile?

I have several old arm64 dumpfiles, with kernel versions 3.19, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5, 4.7,
4.9 and 4.14. However, none of them reach your patch because the code section that
you are patching is only used as a third option after:
(1) checking the vmcoreinfo data, and
(2) checking the kernel image header for the flags field.
In Linux 4.4, this patch added the page size to the kernel image header:
commit 9d372c9fab34cd8803141871195141995f85c7f7

arm64: Add page size to the kernel image header
This patch adds the page size to the arm64 kernel image header
so that one can infer the PAGESIZE used by the kernel. This will
be helpful to diagnose failures to boot the kernel with page size
not supported by the CPU.
And later on in Linux 4.6, "_kernel_flags_le" was replaced by
"_kernel_flags_le_lo32" and "_kernel_flags_le_hi32":
commit 6ad1fe5d9077a1ab40bf74b61994d2e770b00b14

arm64: avoid R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations for Image header fields
Unfortunately, the current way of using the linker to emit build time
constants into the Image header will no longer work once we switch to
the use of PIE executables. The reason is that such constants are emitted
into the binary using R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations, which are resolved at
runtime, not at build time, and the places targeted by those relocations
will contain zeroes before that.
So refactor the endian swapping linker script constant generation code so
that it emits the upper and lower 32-bit words separately.
Anyway, given that the page size flags entry was introduced in Linux 4.4, I don't
believe your patch checking for LINUX(4,16,0) is correct:
+ if (THIS_KERNEL_VERSION < LINUX(4,16,0)) {
+ value = symbol_value("swapper_pg_dir") -
+ symbol_value("idmap_pg_dir");
+ } else {
Do you agree?

[PATCH] Fix a potential segfault for the ARM64 "bt -S <stack-address>" command
by 陈启武
Hi Dave,
I‘m working on arm64 kdump by crash-7.2.7++.
There is a potential segmentation violation due to an invalid exception frame before
transitioning to the process stack when try using the bt command's "-S <stack-address>" options.
For example, take the sp argument from the log:
[ 84.048650] pc : _raw_spin_lock+0x30/0x88
[ 84.048658] lr : lowmem_scan+0x45c/0xbd0
[ 84.048661] sp : ffffff800c42ba00 pstate : 20c00145
A segmentation violation is generated as below:
crash> bt -S ffffff800c42ba00 108
PID: 108 TASK: ffffffcd74122000 CPU: 5 COMMAND: "rtmm_reclaim"

stacktop = 0xffffff800c42c000, stackbuf = 0x555555f23ae0, tc = 0x5555596e1778, hp = 0x7fffffffd5f0, textlist = 0x0, ref = 0x0, frameptr = 0x0,

The stackframe.fp(0xffffff9c29e4f8e0) is larger than the stacktop address, so lead to segmentation violation gernarated by accessing regs->sp:
(gdb) p /x 18446743644915693792//stkptr
$5 = 0xffffff9c29e4f8e0
(gdb) p /x 0xffffff9c29e4f8e0-0xffffff800c428000//STACK_OFFSET_TYPE(stkptr)
$6 = 0x1c1da278e0
(gdb) p /x regs
$7 = 0x55717394b3c0
(gdb) p *(struct arm64_pt_regs *) 0x55717394b3c0
Cannot access memory at address 0x55717394b3c0
For fix this, I think it must be add a condition "arm64_in_exception_text(stackframe.pc) && INSTACK(stackframe.fp, bt)" to avoid
an invalid exception frame before transitioning to the process stack.
The patch file has been upload to attachment.
Thanks for your review. I’m looking forward to your favourable reply!

crash and makedumpfile with 5.3 missing memory in dump
by Andi Kleen
Hi,
[I'm not sure if that is a crash or mkdumpfile problem]
I'm trying to use crash to read a makedumpfile vmcore from 5.3, but I always end up with an error when opening the dump.
I'm using the latest github crash
crash 7.2.7++
...
crash: page excluded: kernel virtual address: ffffffff82110370 type:

WARNING: ORC unwinder: cannot read lookup_num_blocks
crash: seek error: kernel virtual address: ffff88822dffb000 type:

The dump is created with the latest makedumpfile release
makedumpfile: version 1.6.6 (released on 27 Jun 2019)
It complains that it doesn't support the kernel
Any ideas?
