Subject: [Crash-utility] [PATCH 0/3] s390x: uncouple physical and
virtual memory spaces
To: devel(a)lists.crash-utility.osci.io
Message-ID: <cover.1701256901.git.agordeev(a)linux.ibm.com>
Hi all,
Currently physical and virtual addresses are the same on S390X,
but in the future it is going to be uncoupled just like on any
other architecture. This series supports that feature, but it
does not impact the current and older kernel versions.
I did the test, and the patches can work on old kernel versions.
However, since VA and PA are the same on S390x, it's hard to determine
if all changes have been made.
In addition, I can not test the patch 3, seems that the current kernel
does not support this feature(I tried it on the kernel 6.7, did not see
the different VA and PA).
Anyway, If you still want to have these patches in crash-utility for
now, I can help ack this one.
Patch 2 is basically NOP and only fix semantics.
Patch 3 uses the feature if it is available in kernel.
For patch 3, I saw a warning:
s390x.c: In function ‘is_read_proc_kcore’:
s390x.c:671:13: warning: unused variable ‘kcore_fd’ [-Wunused-variable]
671 | int kcore_fd, fd;
| ^~~~~~~~
The variable kcore_fd is not used in the patch 3, it would be good to
remove it.
Thanks
Lianbo
Thanks!

That is correct. There is no version that supports this feature yet.

Yes, I would prefer to pick it now.

For patch 3, I saw a warning:

I will send v2 in reply to this mail.
Thank you, Lianbo!

The Makefile was modified in the v2, it seems unnecessary.
So I would prefer the v1 series [PATCH 0/3] with the above warning
fixes. Given that, for the v1: Ack
