Hello Dave,
[ cut ]
FJ_sample_vmcores.tar.bz2
This includes two sample vmcores as follows:
rhel6.2_i386
rhel6.2_x86_64
Their md5 hashes are respectively:
ec8c7b6dc2202d8e61c5af8f810b3252 FJ_sample_vmcores.tar.bz2
88c9bf546ad0c11cd2a1a52bd18ffbcf rhel6.2_i386
95b8f7f3a9a8427eeb1a66f42fd85534 rhel6.2_x86_64
Thanks.
HATAYAMA, Daisuke
Hello Daisuke and Qian,
Sorry for the delay -- I am still catching up on my vacation email,
and only got to this one today. Thanks for the two vmcores.
Anyway, it was surprising to note is that the two dumpfiles can already
can be read with no problem by the crash utility -- with no additional
patches to support it. The crash utility just thinks that it's a kdump
with some unknown "QEMU" ELF notes:
$ crash vmlinux-2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64.gz rhel6.2_x86_64

crash>
That being the case, the question that immediately arises is:
Why bother to create a new special dumpfile "type"?
When I quickly reviewed Qian's original patch, I was not aware that the dumpfile
is already a "clone" of a kdump, and that crash already supports it with no
additional
patches required. Knowing that, I'd much rather prefer to keep things simpler,
and avoid creating a new dumpfile type at all.
Also, when I suggested creating a new dumpfile type, I forgot how ugly and confusing
the repetitive changes such as this are:
} else if (is_xendump(argv[optind])) {
- if (pc->flags & MEMORY_SOURCES) {
+ if (pc->flags & MEMORY_SOURCES || pc->flags2
& QEMU_MEM_DUMP) {
error(INFO,
"too many dumpfile arguments\n");
program_usage(SHORT_FORM);
I should have suggested moving one of the currently-existing pc->flags bits into
pc->flags2, and keeping all the dumpfile types in pc->flags. Or at least create a
new macro to replace all the usages of "(pc->flags & MEMORY_SOURCES)".
My mistake, Qian -- sorry about that...
But -- it seems that we can just leave the dumpfile type as a
"KDUMP_ELF32/KDUMP_ELF64",
and then based upon the existence of a "QEMU" note, just set a QEMU_MEM_DUMP
pc->flags2
bit that can be used everywhere that you're interested in accessing the
"QEMU"
notes/registers section? Wouldn't that be far simpler?
