Not that it's necessarily indicative of the problem at hand, but I am curious
as to how your build came up with a target of "arm-linux-androideabi"?
When building crash with "make target=ARM", the configure command argument
passed to the embedded gdb build is "--target =arm-elf-linux", and on a RHEL or
Fedora x86_64 host, "gnu" gets appended to it, such that the resultant target
is shown like this in the gdb banner:
This GDB was configured as "--host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --target=arm-elf-linux"...
Is your x86_64 host machine also running an Android environment?
Anyway, it actually made it quite far into the initialization before
it fails with the "crash: cannot hash task_struct entries", which I
believe is caused by a bug in the ARM code here in the unwind_arm.c
function init_module_unwind_tables():
hq_open();
cnt = do_list(&ld);
if (cnt == -1) {
error(WARNING, "UNWIND: failed to gather unwind_table list");
return FALSE;
}
If you put a call to hq_close() here, it should at least continue on a bit farther
in the initialization sequence:
hq_open();
cnt = do_list(&ld);
if (cnt == -1) {
error(WARNING, "UNWIND: failed to gather unwind_table list");
+ hq_close();
return FALSE;
}
I'm not sure what's happening w/respect to the crash_notes and unwind info
gathering. The ARM guys on this list may have some ideas about that?
Also, when posting crash initialization-type failures, can you also attach
a full debug output by putting "-d8" on the crash command line?
Thanks,
Dave
