- Introduced support for upstream xensource ELF format dumpfiles,
which will replace the current xendump format in xen 3.0.5. The
new xen format uses ELF in a non-standard manner such that memory
contents are defined in section headers instead of the traditional
manner of using program headers. Testing has been on paravirtualized
x86, x86 PAE, x86_64 and ia64 dumpfiles. Fully-virtualized dumpfiles
have not been tested. (anderson(a)redhat.com)
- A number of "xencrash" (where the session is run against a xen-syms
binary) fixes have been applied:
1) "bt" did not switch from the ia64 MCA stack to the vcpu stack.
2) "bt" caused an infinite loop if ar_bspstore contained an illegal
value.
3) "bt" shows unnecessary unwind warning message. (ia64)
4) "man log" caused crash to fail with a segmentation violation.
5) "man log" did not have an example.

- Fix for "vtop" on x86 PAE kernels, which could abort upon reaching
the PTE translation section, showing the error message: "vtop:
cannot determine the swap location". (anderson(a)redhat.com)
- Fix for "vm -p" or "vtop" on 2.6 x86 PAE kernels, which could show
incorrect swap offsets, because the swap type/offset encoding was
moved to the high word of the 64-bit PTE. (anderson(a)redhat.com)
- Fix for "vm -p" on x86_64 kernels when a PTE referenced a swap
location, it would show "(not mapped)" instead of the swap location.
(anderson(a)redhat.com)
- In current 2.6 kernels, it is now possible to recognize ppc BOOKE
processors, which is the current default in crash. If the processor
is confirmed to not be BOOKE, then page table translation is done
differently. (antipov(a)ru.mvista.com)
- Fix for live system analysis of Ubuntu kernels due to a mismatch
between /proc/version and the linux_banner string. This was due
to an appendage to the linux_banner string in Ubuntu kernels.
(asid(a)hp.com)
- Fix for 2.6.21 kernels that fail during initialization with the
message: "crash: invalid (optional) structure member offsets:
zone_struct_free_pages or zone_free_pages". This was due to the
removal of the zone struct's "free_pages" member; instead the
zone's "vm_stat[NR_FREE_PAGES]" value is used. (anderson(a)redhat.com)

The current code doesn't build on PPC32. Follwing patch fixes the
problem. However, I consider the patch as evil, so maybe it would be
better to change some data types that are involved here, but I don't
really know.

Figures... I took that patch on blind faith since I don't have
any 32-bit ppc hardware to compile it on, never mind test it:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/crash-utility/2007-March/msg00020.html
Anyway, I'll still defer to the MontaVista guys to come up with
a patch that they can confirm works -- and that compiles, please...
Thanks,
Dave

It compiles OK -- just let me know if you're happy with it.

He, your old Netscape 4.7 doesn't know format=flowed so you got the
patch readable .....
Regards,
Bernhard
Actually Dmitry's patch was readable, although both sections were rejected
for some reason, so I just applied it manually.
On the other hand, I thought that your patch was flowed -- here's what the
"saved" version looks like:

I tested vmcore with ELF format "xm dump-core" and crash-4.0-3.21 on IA64.
The result is good. Thank you for your work.
