kernels and kernels using updated manners for the linkage of
their pglist_data structures, and pointers to their mem_map arrays.
(anderson@xxxxxxxxxx)
- Implemented "kmem -n" for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM kernels; in addition
to the pgdat- and zone-related data command output,
it also
displays a list of the SPARSEMEM mem_sections.
Here is an
example from an ia64:

- Fix for "kmem -i" failure in CONFIG_SPARSEMEM kernels that
would
typically fail with the error message: "kmem: invalid
kernel virtual
address: 0 type: node_zones free_pages". (anderson@xxxxxxxxxx)
- Fix for "kmem -f" failure in CONFIG_SPARSEMEM kernels that
would
typically fail with the error message: "kmem: invalid
kernel virtual
address: ab8 type: node_zones name". (anderson@xxxxxxxxxx)
- Fix for "kmem -f" failure in 2.6.17 kernels (possibly earlier)
that
would fail with the error message: "kmem: invalid
structure member
offset: zone_zone_mem_map". (anderson@xxxxxxxxxx)
- Fix for "kmem [address]" failure in 2.6.17 kernels (possibly
earlier)
that would fail with the error message: "kmem: invalid
structure
member offset: zone_zone_mem_map". (anderson@xxxxxxxxxx)
- Fix for "kmem -i" that resulted in a bogus "CACHED" page
count
value. (anderson@xxxxxxxxxx)
- As an result of the last "kmem -i" fix, I've added a new
"kmem -V"
option that dumps the kernel's new vm_stat[] array
contents by
their enum values:
crash> kmem -V
NR_ANON_PAGES:
38656
NR_FILE_MAPPED:

crash>
Interally, a new dump_vm_stat() function has been added to
access
any of the items in the list. (anderson@xxxxxxxxxx)
- Implemented support for relocatable x86_64 live kernels and kdump
generated vmcores. Without this patch, attempts to
analyze those
kernels would fail during initialization with the error
message:
"crash: vmlinux and vmcore do not match!" (anderson@xxxxxxxxxx)
- Support for recognizing real-time signals in the "sig" command.
(olivier.daudel@xxxxxxxxxxxx)
- Fix for "sys -c" display of "sys_ni_syscall" entries that showed
different system call names that have the same (W) symbol
value
as the (T) symbol "sys_ni_syscall". For example:
crash> sym -l | grep ffffffff802a38b6
ffffffff802a38b6 (W) compat_sys_ipc
ffffffff802a38b6 (W) compat_sys_keyctl
ffffffff802a38b6 (W) compat_sys_sysctl
ffffffff802a38b6 (W) ppc_rtas
ffffffff802a38b6 (T) sys_ni_syscall
ffffffff802a38b6 (W) sys_pciconfig_iobase
ffffffff802a38b6 (W) sys_pciconfig_read
ffffffff802a38b6 (W) sys_pciconfig_write
ffffffff802a38b6 (W) sys_spu_create
ffffffff802a38b6 (W) sys_spu_run
ffffffff802a38b6 (W) sys_vm86
ffffffff802a38b6 (W) sys_vm86old
crash>
- Depending upon the kernel, one of those symbols would be displayed
instead of sys_ni_syscall. (olivier.daudel@xxxxxxxxxxxx)
- Fix for "sig" command where in later 2.6 kernels, the queued signal
list at the end of the display would loop back on itself,
repeatedly
displaying the same queued signal(s). (olivier.daudel@xxxxxxxxxxxx)
