[PATCH] Optimize extensions's compiler from gcc to $(CC)

by 高建云

Change the default compiler of the extensions from the fixed gcc to $(CC) passed in by the upper layer Makefile, to facilitate cross_compile.

Alternative Career Paths with a Law Degree in the UK

by timothyl.barnett1＠gmail.com

I was unsure about committing to the conventional solicitor or barrister path after years of obtaining my law degree. My perspective was totally altered when I learnt about the Alternative Careers with a Law Degree UK Service. Under their direction, I was able to see how my research, analysis, and persuasive abilities could be applied to jobs in policy analysis, legal technology, compliance, and other fields. I learnt to view my degree as a strong asset that could open many doors and guide me towards a more rewarding career rather than as a limitation.

[PATCH v2] vmcoreinfo: read vmcoreinfo using 'vmcoreinfo_data' when unavailable in elf note

by Aditya Gupta

Few vmcores don't have vmcoreinfo elf note, such as those created using virsh-dump. On architectures such as PowerPC64, vmcoreinfo is mandatory to fetch the first_vmalloc_address, for vmcores of upstream linux, since crash-utility commit: commit 5b24e363a898 ("get vmalloc start address from vmcoreinfo") Try reading from the 'vmcoreinfo_data' symbol instead, if the vmcoreinfo crash tries to read in case of diskdump/netdump is empty/missing. The approach to read 'vmcoreinfo_data' was used for a live kernel, which can be reused in the case of missing vmcoreinfo note also, as the 'vmcoreinfo_data' symbol is available with vmcore too Note though, till GDB interface is not initialised, reading from vmcoreinfo_data symbol is not done, so behaviour is same as previously with no vmcoreinfo (only till GDB interface is not initialised) Hence rename 'vmcoreinfo_read_string' in kernel.c to 'vmcoreinfo_read_from_memory', and use it in netdump.c and diskdump.c too.

[PATCH v2] Add "log -R" to display human readable Rust symbol name

by Lianbo Jiang

Currently, the log command will display human readable Rust symbol name by default if any, but, sometimes still want to print the original messages from the log buffer(do not demangle). In addition, if the log buffer has lines like "_R ... +" which are not Rust symbols unexpectedly, probably the output will be missed, that is unexpected. To fix above cases, add "log -R" to display human readable Rust symbol name, otherwise still print the original messages. With the patch: crash> log -R ...
