display function parameters for call stack
by Lei Wen
Hi Dave,
I notice there was some discussion around on enabling
the display function parameters feature for crash tool.
Like this one:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/crash-utility/2009-May/msg00016.html
Although the answer seems to be quite clear, it should be hard to
support such feature. But does this feature cannot be done anyway?
I think this feature would be great in assisting kernel debug.
The main feature I require, first should be know each param's value in the
call stack.
Then it is better to know each call stack's param's name.
Like for do_vfs_ioctl function, it is better to display as:
do_vfs_ioctl(filp=xxx, fd=xxx, cmd=xxx, arg=xxx)
Do you have any idea on how this could be implemented?
Thanks,
Lei

[PATCH] s390(x): Allow "lowcore" and "_lowcore"
by Michael Holzheu
Hello Dave,
In future s390/s390x Linux kernels struct "_lowcore" will be renamed
to "lowcore". This patch checks which struct is defined and uses the
correct one.
Michael

[PATCH] clean commnad line from pipe
by qiaonuohan
Hello Dave,
When I try to input gdb command through pipe, I find crash doesn't work
well, like below.
# echo -ne "gdb help\n gdb help" | ./crash -s
Undefined command: "". Try "help".
gdb: gdb request failed: help
No source file named help.
gdb: gdb request failed: b help
So I make the patch to clean command, please refer to the patch.

[PATCH]: gcore extension, anonymous union in inode struct
by Per Fransson
Hi Crash people,
The gcore extension fails on the 3.4 kernel I'm using. It attempts to
find the offset of a member within the inode struct, but the member is
part of an anonymous union. This patch fixes the problem for me.

[PATCH]: nr_node_ids
by Per Fransson
Hi all,
I'm wondering about the use of the kernel 'nr_node_ids' variable in
memory.c. In kmem_cache_downsize(), vt->kmem_cache_len_nodes defaults
to 1 when 'nr_node_ids' isn't present. But in vm_init() an error
message is printed in the same case. The reason I'm asking is that I'm
getting that error
"unable to initialize kmem slab cache subsystem"
on a 3.4 kernel. Having vm_init() default to
vt->kmem_cache_len_nodes=1
as well seems to bring up the slab subsystem, although I'm getting a couple of
"kmem: vm_area_struct: full list: slab: <nn1> bad next pointer: <nn2>"
mixed into my kmem -S output. I have no idea if it's related.
Regards,

resolve symbols: sial.so vs eppic.so
by Sebastian Ott
The way symbols are resolved in sial scripts is different between
sial.so and eppic.so. A symbol resolves to the address of the
symbol using sial.so and to the memory content using eppic.so.
In crash 6.0.9 I got e.g.:
crash> sym dev_kobj
979138 (b) dev_kobj
crash> rd dev_kobj
979138: 0000000174c9aac0 ....t...
crash> dev_kobj
dev_kobj = $3 = (struct kobject *) 0x174c9aac0
Using a sial script:
crash> !cat foo.sial
string foo_help() { return ""; }
string foo_opt() { return ""; }
string foo_usage() { return ""; }
int foo()
{
printf("0x%x\n", dev_kobj);
return 1;
}
./eppic.so: shared object loaded
crash> load foo.sial
crash> foo
0x74c9aac0
./sial.so: shared object loaded
crash> load foo.sial
crash> foo
0x979138
Is this an intentional change or a bug?
Regards,
Sebastian
