arguments to the internal "add-symbol-file" command issued to gdb to
load the debug data for module objects. On most architectures, this
allows the usage of the command construct "p [module-symbol-name]" to
print out the module data structure in the same way that is done for
kernel proper data structure names. (castor.fu@xxxxxxxxxxxx)
- Two enhancements to significantly speed up the initialization
of
crash sessions when running against multi-gigabyte xen kernels
or
xendumps. The cache of mfn-to-phys_to_machine_mapping
page has been
changed from a single-mfn-to-phys_to_machine_mapping page
format to
storing a contiguous-range-of-mfns-to-phys_to_machine_mapping
format.
This benefit is primarily seen during the "gathering module
symbol
data" phase. The second change simply increases the
size of the
pfn-to-xendump-page-offset cache. (anderson@xxxxxxxxxx)
- Fix for a segmentation violation during the "gathering task table
data" phase of initialization if the thread_info structure
of the
runqueue-advertised active task has been freed. This
has only ever
been seen in a xendump created by "xm dump-core -L [guest-domain]".

- Cosmetic fix to prepend newlines to messages that happen to be
generated during any of the "please wait" segments of initialization.

- Addressed several compiler warnings when using -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2.
Some are in gdb code that is never exercised, others were
legitimate
but would require impossible code paths, but one of them
could
result in runaway "help -t" output if the kernel was built
without
IKCONFIG. (bwalle@xxxxxxx)
- Fix for the s390x "bt -f" command option, which was displaying
the
stack as a sequence of 32-bit words which were dumped "backwards",
i.e., at the wrong offset. (krader@xxxxxxxxxx)
