- Two fixes for "dev -p" command option: 1) The head entry of the PCI device list was being skipped. 2) For systems with no PCI devices, exit gracefully rather than failing the command due to the use of an invalid virtual address. (rachita(a)in.ibm.com, anderson(a)redhat.com) - Fix to recognize "linux_banner" symbol type change from 'R' to 'r' in 2.6.20-rc2 kernels. Without the patch, the session fails during initialization with the error message " WARNING: invalid linux_banner pointer: 756e694c", and then "crash: vmlinux and vmcore do not match! (vgoyal(a)in.ibm.com) - Fix to recognize "__per_cpu_start" and "__per_cpu_end" symbol type change from 'A' to 'D' in relocatable kernels. Without the patch, SMP kernels running on uniprocessor systems may fail during initialization with the message "crash: cannot resolve init_task_union". (sachinp(a)in.ibm.com) - Fix for the xencrash "dumpinfo -t" command to properly cycle through the ELF_timeval structures for each cpu. (anderson(a)redhat.com) - Fix for x86_64 backtraces that may end prematurely at either a stale "schedule" or "schedule_timeout" reference when doing a "bt" on an active task in a dumpfile. (anderson(a)redhat.com) - Fix for a possible empty panic message in 2.6 kernels both during initialization and when running the "sys" command, because of the change of the kernel panic() string from "Kernel panic: " to "Kernel panic -- not syncing: ". If the panic message was not recognized in another manner, such as by an oops message, by a kernel BUG message, or sysrq-generated crash, the "PANIC:" status would be empty.
