- Added support for Magnus Damm's latest kexec/kdump patch for Xen.
The ELF header of the vmcore, which is a full memory dump
of the
dom0/hypervisor combination, contains a XEN_ELFNOTE_CRASH_INFO
note
that contains the pfn_to_mfn_list_list value for dom0, allowing
pfn-to-mfn translations may be made for crash analysis of
the dom0
linux kernel. (anderson@redhat.com)
- Added support for recognizing the zero-fill segments in ELF vmcore
files created by the makedumpfile command from kdump /proc/vmcore
files.
Without this patch, ELF vmcore files generated by makedumpfile
could
only be used by gdb. (anderson@redhat.com)
- Updated the 4.0-3.4 patch that addressed the bogus kernel-/proc/version
mismatch initialization failures using recent s390x vmlinux
files that
contain an ASCII character just preceding the Linux version
string.
That patch fixed the problem when the vmlinux file name
was placed on
the crash command line; this version also fixes it when
"crash" is
entered alone on the command line, and it has to search
for the vmlinux
file. (anderson@redhat.com)
