[Crash-utility] Unknown osrelease information in vmcore with xen
Hi,
I have a SuSE SLES11 vmcore with xen and tried to read the osrelease from the
vmcore with
# crash --osrelease vmcore
unknown
The problem is that there are two notes in the vmcore starting with
"VMCOREINFO":
Elf64_Nhdr:
n_namesz: 11 ("VMCOREINFO")
n_descsz: 1384
n_type: 0 (unused)
OSRELEASE=3.0.101-63-xen
...
Elf64_Nhdr:
n_namesz: 15 ("VMCOREINFO_XEN")
n_descsz: 4068
n_type: 0 (unused)
...
In the function dump_Elf64_Nhdr() I found:
vmcoreinfo = STRNEQ(buf, "VMCOREINFO");
But because the "VMCOREINFO_XEN" ist the second one in the file it wins!
When using
vmcoreinfo = STREQ(buf, "VMCOREINFO");
all is fine and I get:
# crash --osrelease vmcore
3.0.101-63-xen
So my question is: why is STRNEQ() used?
Thanks!
Dietmar.
