Re: [Crash-utility] cpu online map changes in 2.6.29

Hi all,
Currently crash does not work with 2.6.29 kernels, because of changes in
the cpu_online_map code:
crash 4.0-8.9

crash: cannot resolve "cpu_online_map"
Is anybody working on that issue?

Not that I'm aware of -- you volunteering?
Looks like all 3 cpu_xxx_map references (online, present and possible)
that crash potentially uses need to be able to recognize and handle the
need to access them via their cpu_xxx_mask variables. And as always,
to maintain backwards-compatibility, i.e., to recognize when neither
cpu_xxx_map and cpu_xxx_mask exist, such as in really older kernels...
Let us know if you can undertake the task.
