Hi Mike,
No, it's most definitely appreciated. Normally patches are posted on the
crash utility mailing list (crash-utility(a)redhat.com), but this is fine.
And speaking of the mailing list, there was a bug report and subsequent
thread yesterday concerning this issue:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/crash-utility/2018-April/msg00000.html
It was unresolved because the thread_union still exists in the most
recent upstream sources, and I can still see the union declaration
in the most recent Fedora kernel.
It still exists, but...
homer:..kernel/linux-4.15 # objdump -t vmlinux|grep thread_union
ffffffff81e00000 g O .data 0000000000004000 init_thread_union
^^^^
homer:..kernel/linux-master # objdump -t vmlinux|grep thread_union
ffffffff81e00000 g .data 0000000000000000 init_thread_union
^^^^
...it's size went missing at the referenced commit.
