- Fix for initialization-time failure when running against 2.6.27 x86_64 kernels, which indicate "crash: cannot resolve: end_pfn". The patch sets the new 2.6.27 x86_64 PAGE_OFFSET value, handles the change in the x86_64 "_cpu_pda" variable declaration, and distinguishes paravirtual "pv_ops" kernels from traditional xen kernels. (oomichi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, anderson@xxxxxxxxxx) - When an improper structure member offset or structure size is attempted, a partial crash backtrace is displayed in the ensuing error message. However, if the crash binary was stripped, it would show "/usr/bin/nm: /tmp/crash: no symbols" instead of the address and name of the symbol. This has been fixed to work with stripped binaries if the crash symbol can be found in the crash binary; if the crash symbol cannot be found, such as for static text symbols, it will just display its address and "(undetermined)". (bwalle@xxxxxxx) - crash.spec file addition: Requires: binutils (anderson@xxxxxxxxxx) - Fix for LKCD kerntypes debuginfo files to use "node_states" when "node_online_map" is not in use. (cpw@xxxxxxx) - Implement support for s390/s390x CONFIG_SPARSEMEM kernels. Without the patch, crash sessions would fail during initialization with the error message: "crash: CONFIG_SPARSEMEM kernels not supported for this architecture". (holzheu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) - Fix for "kmem -[sS]" when running against 2.6.27 CONFIG_SLUB kernels, in which the kmem_cache.objects and .order members were replaced by a kmem_cache_order_objects structure. Without the patch, the command would fail with the error message: "kmem: "invalid structure member offset: kmem_cache_objects". The fix also recognizes and supports potentially variable slab sizes as introduced by the kernel patch. (anderson@xxxxxxxxxx) - Increased the maximum number of SIAL commands from 100 to 200.
