Hi Dave and other list readers,
First, just like some other contributors, I've come across an issue
triggered by a dump being corrupt. In my case it's this code in
kernel.c:cpu_maps_init():
if (*maskptr & (0x1UL << c)) {
cpu = (i * BITS_PER_LONG) + c;
kt->cpu_flags[cpu] |= mapinfo[m].cpu_flag;
}
The mask is corrupt, making Crash believe there are more CPU's than the
four we have allocated space for in kernel.c:kernel_init. How do you
think this should be handled?
Does the "crash --cpus <number> ..." command-line option work around it?
Dave
