by Vijay Balakrishna

Hello, We are seeing crash (7.2.8) failing on ARM64 live kernel. After filing https://github.com/crash-utility/crash/issues/54 I learned about crash utility discussion list (https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/crash-utility), hence reaching out list members. Please share any insight. # uname -a Linux com7 5.4.42-xxxxxxxx-standard #1 SMP Wed Jun 3 05:17:19 UTC 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux # crash -s /proc/kcore vmlinux-stable-master-dev54 crash: /proc/kcore: cannot read vabits_actual # I have made a request to join mailing list.

gcore extension source code

by Dreyfus, Thirtsa (Mobileye)

Hello, I have implemented an improvement for gcore extension. However, when I searched for the gcore source code in the main repository - I don't find it. Can you tell me how to find it? Then I can create a patch, and share.

crash start in CentOS 8

by Agrain Patrick

Hello, I tried to test the crash utility from CentOS 8 with following requirements: * First machine (VMware) on which CentOS 8 is installed and on which I performed a fake crash using SysRq. After reboot, The /var/crash was populated with the vmcore. * Second machine (Server) on which CentOS 8 is also installed and on which I wish to analyze the crash. Both machine have the same CentOS build installed. I imported System.map-4.18.0-147.el8.x86_64, vmcore and vmlinux.debuginfo from first machine to a directory on the second machine. When I run 'crash', I have following messages (see below), but no 'crash>' prompt. What have I missed ? What Should I check ? Thanks.

Crash whitepaper location

by Kaiwan N Billimoria

Hi, I'm a fan of the whitepaper : "White Paper: Red Hat Crash Utility" by Dave Anderson. It used to be available at http://people.redhat.com/~anderson/crash_whitepaper/ but this URL doesn't seem to work any longer. Anyone have this whitepaper? Or a PDF ver? Would appreciate it, thanks...
