Hi Dave, In my develop enviroment, kaslr offset will be stored in SoC on-chip memory for debuging, but crash utility is not work if i only set kaslr offset by command '--kaslr XXX', it also need correct kimage_voffset. error message without the patch: VA_BITS: 39 using 40000000 as phys_offset kimage_voffset: 0 phys_offset: 40000000 .....cut.... <readmem: ffffff9381e074a0, KVADDR, "cpu_possible_mask", 8, (FOE), 7fffce0dfa48> <read_ramdump: addr: ffffff9381e074a0 paddr: 13b9e074a0 cnt: 8> read_ramdump: READ_ERROR: offset not found for paddr: 13b9e074a0 crash: read error: kernel virtual address: ffffff9381e074a0 type: "cpu_possible_mask" This patch add a function to auto calculate kimage_voffset by kaslr offset. Please review it. Thanks, Yueyi Li

Actually, i use crash utility to analysis Android device crash, Linux kernel version is 4.4. The ramdump file is not generated by kdump, it is whole DDR SDRAM snapshot collected by another RTOS, so i don`t have vmcoreinfo to get kimage_voffset & phys_offset. I my opinion, only set kaslr offset should work well even if without vmcore file and kimage_voffse, it looks more reasonable. > It seems that this patch would only be applicable when looking at an ELF > dumpfile, given that your arch_calc_kimage_voffset() function calls > arm_kdump_phys_base() -- which only applies if you are looking at an > ELF dumpfile: > > +static void > +arm64_calc_kimage_voffset(void) > +{ > + struct machine_specific *ms = machdep->machspec; > + ulong kimage_offset; > + ulong phys_offset; > + struct syment *sp; > + > + if (machdep->flags & KIMG_VOFFSET) /* --machdep override */ > + return; > + > + if ((kt->flags2 & KASLR) && (kt->flags & RELOC_SET)){ > + arm_kdump_phys_base(&phys_offset); > + ms->kimage_voffset = ms->vmalloc_start_addr + (kt->relocate * -1) - phys_offset; > + } > + > +} > > Is that correct?

It means, arm_kdump_phys_base() can not calculate correctly address, we need kimage_voffset to calculate correctly phys_offset, this is what arm64_calc_phys_offset() to do( just on live system & ELF ramdump). So arm64_calc_kimage_voffset() should be called first. This is why crash utility is not work if '-m kimage_voffset' is not given. debug log with the patch, kaslr offset is 0x1378e00000, start address of first memory block is 0x40000000: readmem: read_ramdump() VA_BITS: 39 using ffffffd340000000 as phys_offset kimage_voffset: ffffff9340e00000 phys_offset: ffffffd340000000 gdb vmlinux GNU gdb (GDB) 7.6 Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

For live system, if kimage_voffset has been calculated, arm64_calc_phys_offset will use it calculate correctly phys_offset instead of read from /proc/iomem. if ((machdep->flags & NEW_VMEMMAP) && ms->kimage_voffset && (sp = kernel_symbol_search("memstart_addr"))) { paddr = sp->value - machdep->machspec->kimage_voffset; if (READMEM(pc->mfd, &phys_offset, sizeof(phys_offset), sp->value, paddr) > 0) { ms->phys_offset = phys_offset; return; } } I have attached patch v2, Could you please review it?
