Re: [Crash-utility] [PATCH v2 0/6] crash: Bundle of fixes for Xen
----- Original Message -----
Hi,
It looks that Xen support for crash have not been maintained
since 2009. I am trying to fix this. Here it is bundle of fixes:
- xen: Always calculate max_cpus value,
- xen: Read only crash notes for onlined CPUs,
- x86/xen: Read variables from dynamically allocated per_cpu data,
- xen: Get idle data from alternative source,
- xen: Read data correctly from dynamically allocated console ring, too
(fixed in this release),
- xen: Add support for 3 level P2M tree (new patch in this release).

Hi Daniel,
The original 5 updates specific to the Xen hypervisor look OK,
but new patch 6/6 is going to take some studying/testing to
alleviate my backwards-compatibility worries. Can I ask whether
you fully tested it with older 2-level P2M tree kernels?
Thanks,
Dave
