[Crash-utility] crash version 4.0-3.4 is available

- Implemented support for x86_64 and ia64 compressed kdump dumpfiles created by the makedumpfile command, which need to pass their respective physical address load locations in a kdump-specific dumpfile sub-header. (oomichi(a)mxs.nes.nec.co.jp) - Fix for the "timer" command on 2.6.17 and later kernels. Without this patch, the command would spew out error messages of the sort: timer: invalid list entry: 0 timer: ignoring faulty timer list at index 0 of timer array This was due to the kernel's tvec_bases data structures being moved out of the per-cpu memory regions, and replaced with just per-cpu pointers to the data. (anderson(a)redhat.com) - Fix for ia64 machines whose kernel's text and static data region 5 segment is not loaded at physical address 64MB; live systems get the physical load address from /proc/iomem, while kdump dumpfiles contain the load address in the ELF header. Without this patch, the crash session would fail during initialization with a "crash: invalid kernel virtual address: [address] type: xtime" error message. The physical address may still be forcibly set using the command line option "--machdep phys_start=[address]" (anderson(a)redhat.com) - When using the "--machdep phys_start=[address]" on an ia64 machine, an irrelevant error message indicating: "WARNING: invalid vm= option" would be displayed. (anderson(a)redhat.com) - Updated the ppc64 page size determination from always using getpagesize() on the host machine to symbolically determining whether 64k page sizes are in use. (sachinp(a)in.ibm.com) - Enhancement of the "sig" command to display the lists of both private and/or shared queued signals, if any. (olivier.daudel(a)u-paris10.fr) - Adapted "mount [-n pid|task]" patch, which displays the mounted filesystems with respect to the namespace of a given pid or task. (olivier.daudel(a)u-paris10.fr) - Fix for running crash without parameters on a live system that does not have a "/usr/src" directory, which would result in a segmentation violation. (holzheu(a)de.ibm.com) - The /proc/version check against vmlinux "strings" output needed to be made aware that some other character may be adjacent to the "L" in the "Linux version..." string. This would lead to erroneous "vmlinux and /proc/version do not match!" errors during initialization. (holzheu(a)de.ibm.com) - gdb-6.1.patch update for gdb-6.1/sim/ppc/debug.c to compile in SUSE build environment. (olh(a)suse.de) (9/19/06) Download from: http://people.redhat.com/anderson
