Re: [Crash-utility] [External Mail]Re: [PATCH] Fix for the determination of the ARM64 SECTION_SIZE_BITS

Hi Dave, 1. I'm requesting the arm64.c change as well. Because some chip makers would like to define their own section size bits in kernel config to support memory hotplug, which is not same as ARM64 default SECTION_SIZE_BITS value: 30, such as QCOM SDM8150 or 8250 borads. Although linux kernel maintain line still define default SECTION_SIZE_BITS value: 30 as section_size_bits for sparsemem. The patch has detailed descript in the email "[PATCH] Fix for the determination of the ARM64 SECTION_SIZE_BITS".

2. The output of "sys config" for my dumpfile has been uploaded, which shows the last line is empty. it occurs a segment fault when add the last empty line into ikconfig entry. I agree that the use of STRNEQ() is better than strncmp().

Using your dumpfile that has the bogus "ent" string, can you show me what the output of "sys config" looks like?
