This enables crash to handle xen dumps that are larger then 4G

This is the same as was sent as an attachment.  Just a clean top post.

Good job. However, as I can see this fix requires explicit type
conversions in many places. I am almost sure that next time when
somebody improve the code then he/she will forget about this needed
type conversions. So maybe it is worth creating new struct which
will have xch_ctxt_offset as off_t instead of unsigned long and
do this conversion once somewhere.

I think you are getting this backwards.  Most of the changes (like the one above) is
removing the explicit type conversions.  I did not need to change the line above
(cast an off_t to an off_t) but did because I think it is just better to drop the cast of the
same type.  The important lines include:


        if (STREQ(name, ".xen_shared_info"))
                xd->xc_core.shared_info_offset = (off_t)shdr.sh_offset;

        if (STREQ(name, ".xen_pfn")) {
-               xd->xc_core.header.xch_index_offset = shdr.sh_offset;
+               xd->xc_core.header.xch_index_offset =
+                       (off_t)shdr.sh_offset;
                xd->flags |= (XC_CORE_NO_P2M|XC_CORE_PFN_CREATE);
        }

        if (STREQ(name, ".xen_p2m")) {
-               xd->xc_core.header.xch_index_offset = shdr.sh_offset;
+               xd->xc_core.header.xch_index_offset =
+                       (off_t)shdr.sh_offset;
                xd->flags |= XC_CORE_P2M_CREATE;
        }

        if (STREQ(name, ".xen_pages"))
-               xd->xc_core.header.xch_pages_offset =
-                       (unsigned long)shdr.sh_offset;
+               xd->xc_core.header.xch_pages_offset =
+                       (off_t)shdr.sh_offset;
