[Crash-utility] [PATCH] Fix "kmem -v" option displaying no regions on Linux 6.3 and later
Kernel commit 869176a09606 ("mm/vmalloc.c: add flags to mark vm_map_ram
area"), which is contained in Linux 6.3 and later, added "flags" member
to struct vmap_area. This was the revival of the "flags" member as
kernel commit 688fcbfc06e4 had eliminated it before.
As a result, crash started to use the old procedure using the member and
displays no vmalloc'd regions, because it does not have the same flag
value as the old one.
crash> kmem -v
VMAP_AREA VM_STRUCT ADDRESS RANGE SIZE
crash>
To fix this, also check if vmap_area.purge_list exists, which was
introduced with the flags and removed later, to determine that the flags
member is the old one.
Related vmap_area history:
v2.6.28 db64fe02258f introduced vmap_area with flags and purge_list
v5.4 688fcbfc06e4 removed flags
v5.11 96e2db456135 removed purge_list
v6.3 869176a09606 added flags again
