Hi Lianbo, I didn't fully understand the issue you are trying to fix.

My understanding, if only crashing cpu's registers value are saved, then the current crash output looks fine to me. But if all cpus' registers are saved in vmcore, but only crashing cpu's registers are outputted by crash, then it is a crash bug to me. > messages: > > crash> help -r > CPU 0: > help: registers not collected for cpu 0 > > CPU 1: > X0: 4000000000000000 X1: ffffc8c40d453d30 X2: ffff37436ecd0000 > X3: ffffc8c40d475340 X4: 00000000000968a4 X5: 4000000000000000 > X6: 4000000000000000 X7: 7fffffffffffffff X8: 0000016f2a240000 > X9: ffffc8c40b0c64fc X10: 0000000000001000 X11: 00000000000000c0 > X12: 0000000000000000 X13: 0000000000000072 X14: 0000000000000072 > X15: 0000aaab0f98a320 X16: 0000000000000000 X17: 0000000000000000 > X18: 0000000000000000 X19: 0000000000000000 X20: 0000000000000000 > X21: ffffc8c40d475340 X22: ffffc8c40d460b80 X23: 00000000000000c0 > X24: 00000007bf68b1b0 X25: 00000007b9284000 X26: 00000007bf68b1a8 > X27: 00000007bbc95a40 X28: 00000007bbc6805a X29: ffffc8c40d453d80 > LR: ffffc8c40bebd5d8 SP: ffffc8c40d453d80 PC: ffffc8c40bebd5e8 > PSTATE: 60400005 FPVALID: 00000000 > > CPU 2: > help: registers not collected for cpu 2 > > CPU 3: > help: registers not collected for cpu 3 > > crash> help -D > ... > num_prstatus_notes: 4 > notes[0]: 0 > notes[1]: dafa380 (NT_PRSTATUS) > si.signo: 0 si.code: 0 si.errno: 0 > cursig: 0 sigpend: 0 sighold: 0 > pid: 0 ppid: 0 pgrp: 0 sid:0 > utime: 0.000000 stime: 0.000000 > cutime: 0.000000 cstime: 0.000000 > X0: 4000000000000000 X1: ffffc8c40d453d30 X2: ffff37436ecd0000 > X3: ffffc8c40d475340 X4: 00000000000968a4 X5: 4000000000000000 > X6: 4000000000000000 X7: 7fffffffffffffff X8: 0000016f2a240000 > X9: ffffc8c40b0c64fc X10: 0000000000001000 X11: 00000000000000c0 > X12: 0000000000000000 X13: 0000000000000072 X14: 0000000000000072 > X15: 0000aaab0f98a320 X16: 0000000000000000 X17: 0000000000000000 > X18: 0000000000000000 X19: 0000000000000000 X20: 0000000000000000 > X21: ffffc8c40d475340 X22: ffffc8c40d460b80 X23: 00000000000000c0 > X24: 00000007bf68b1b0 X25: 00000007b9284000 X26: 00000007bf68b1a8 > X27: 00000007bbc95a40 X28: 00000007bbc6805a X29: ffffc8c40d453d80 > LR: ffffc8c40bebd5d8 SP: ffffc8c40d453d80 PC: ffffc8c40bebd5e8 > PSTATE: 60400005 FPVALID: 00000000 > notes[2]: 0 > notes[3]: 0 > ... > > To fix the current issue, let's map to present cpus instead of online What's your expected output?
