Dear all,
We are a team developing the virtualization solution for the Linux
kernel called OpenVZ. Since many people are running kernels patched by
OpenVZ, they can definitely benefit from using the crash utility.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to run crash on top of OpenVZ kernel
without some slight modification of it's code. The reason is the
introduction of some additional data structure to the OpenVZ kernel code
which virtualize runqueues among other things. So the way crash needs to
read struct rq is a bit different from vanilla kernel.
Attached patch adds the needed functionality in a backward-compatible
way. Can you please add it to crash devel tree?
Hi Kirill,
The patch appears completely segregated such that it cannot cause
any problems with non-OpenVZ kernels. I'll tinker with the patch to
make it apply to the most recent crash version (4.0-4.13):
$ patch -p1 --dry-run < pcpu_info.support.patch
patching file defs.h
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1429.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 1543 (offset 8 lines).
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file defs.h.rej
patching file kernel.c
patching file task.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 5831 (offset 135 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 5941 (offset 135 lines).
$
Unless I find any unsurmountable problems, consider it queued for
the next release.
Thanks,
Dave
