Re: [Crash-utility] arm64: Get CPU registers without crash_notes symbol
-----Original Message-----
Dear Crash maintainers,
We want to improve the crash_tool for the case that need offline cpu register info even
Kdump without
crash_notes.
For one thing, we will prepare a Kdump with all CPU register info in ELF note.
For another thing, we need to modify crash_tool and make it support adding offline cpu
register info even
Kdump without crash_notes.
We prepare a patch for the case with ARCH=arm64.
It is verified with our kdump without crash_note and can get all cpu register.
Please take your time to review our patch and look forward to receiving your comments.
Patch detail as below
I've rewritten the commit log, is this ok?

arm64: Get CPU registers from ELF notes even without crash_notes symbol
Currently arm64 crash retrieves the CPU registers from crash_notes symbol
or ELF notes only when the symbol exists, but there are dumpfiles which
have the registers in ELF notes without the symbol.
With the patch, crash can retrieve the registers from ELF notes without
the crash_notes symbol.

This else block should be separated from the if block like this?
if (!note) {
error(WARNING, "cpu %d: cannot find NT_PRSTATUS note\n", i);
continue;
}

This if block should be within the if (DISKDUMP_DUMPFILE()... block.

crash_notes = symbol_value("crash_notes");
(and this email still looks HTML one to me :-)
