Hello Dave,
We have recently found that Crash is not capable of processing 5
level page tables virtual addresses (higher than 8 Petabytes).
Please find the enclosed patch below.
| [PATCH] s390x: Fix virtual address check for 5 level page tables |
The current validity check for virtual addresses fails for five level page tables because in that case it uses a 64 bit left-shift operation which is undefined in the C standard. Quote from C99 standard: If the value of the right operand is negative or is greater than or equal to the width of the promoted left operand, the behavior is undefined. To fix this, we just skip the validity check in case of highest page-level (level = 3) due to redundancy Signed-off-by: Mikhail Zaslonko <zaslonko@linux.vnet.ibm.com> --- s390x.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/s390x.c b/s390x.c index e13bd59..96ce3dc 100644 --- a/s390x.c +++ b/s390x.c @@ -688,7 +688,7 @@ int s390x_vtop(ulong table, ulong vaddr, physaddr_t *phys_addr, int verbose) /* Read the first entry to find the number of page table levels. */ readmem(table, KVADDR, &entry, sizeof(entry), "entry", FAULT_ON_ERROR); level = (entry & 0xcULL) >> 2; - if ((vaddr >> (31 + 11*level)) != 0ULL) { + if ((level < 3) && (vaddr >> (31 + 11*level)) != 0ULL) { /* Address too big for the number of page table levels. */ return FALSE; } -- 2.10.2
