[PATCH] help: Introduce -i option to dump dmi_ident[] data
by Aaron Tomlin
This patch introduces a '-i' option to the 'help' command to allow the user
to conveniently display the DMI (Desktop Management Interface) table,
if available. For example:
crash> help -i
dmi_ident[1]: LENOVO
dmi_ident[2]: GIET75WW (2.25 )
dmi_ident[3]: 06/24/2014
dmi_ident[4]: LENOVO
dmi_ident[5]: 20AMS22U0C
dmi_ident[6]: ThinkPad X240
dmi_ident[7]: PC00CDZE
dmi_ident[8]: 01338439-0853-CB11-8EBB-CE1D1FC1CBC0
dmi_ident[9]: LENOVO
dmi_ident[10]: 20AMS22U0C
dmi_ident[11]: Not Defined
dmi_ident[12]: L1HF47E00T3

Dave,
OK, so the problem is that in CONFIG_SLAB kernels, the array_cache
structure that is pointed to by each kmem_cache.cpu_cache can now
be a vmalloc'd memory location. That may be a new innovation for
32-bit kernels? I don't know, but in any case, all of these error
types:
crash: kmem_cache: df1e34c0: invalid array_cache pointer: ff7fb410
show array_cache pointers in the vmalloc region. The kmem_cache.cpu_cache
pointer is actually a per_cpu pointer, but on some of the kmem slab caches,
the translation of the per_cpu pointer result in a vmalloc() address instead
of a unity-mapped address. Perhaps there's a point at which the percpu
memory allocations switch from being unity-mapped structures to being
vmalloc()'d addresses?
In any case, at the point in time when the kmem caches are being
initialized (when the error messages get generated), the 32-bit ARM
arch has not yet set the base address of the vmalloc region in one
if its machine-dependent variables. And so the addresses are
mistakenly translated as if they are unity-mapped. The ARM arch
sets the internal vmalloc base address variable at a later point
in time, but it can be done earlier, before the kmem cache initialization
is started. So with this one-line patch, the dumpfile comes up cleanly:

I can only test the ELF vmcore because I don't have the 32-bit lzo library
installed for my "make target=ARM" x86 binary. But it won't be any
different from the one above.
I'll queue the patch for crash-7.1.4.
Thanks for the report,
Dave
