Patchset [1] introduces maple tree data structure for linux, and the
modification on mm subsystem.
The main impact on crash utility, is the modification on vm_area_struct.
Patch [2][3] removed the rbtree and linked list iteration of
vm_area_struct, making it impossible for crash to iterate vma
in the traditional way. For example, we can observe the failing
of crash cmd vm/fuser on kernel which has integrated with patchset [1].
This patchset deals with the issue by porting and adapting
kernel's maple tree vma iteration code to crash utility. It has been
tested on linux-next-next-20220914 [4].
Patch 1: the pure copy-and-paste work, extracting related kernel
structures, functions, constants to crash.
Patch 2: minimal code modification for crash adaption, kernel
structures are kept for member resolving.
Patch 3: modification on crash memory.c to use the maple vma
iteration.
The idea is to make patch 1-3 a POC work.
Patch 4: Get rid of kernel structures by rewriting the structure
member resolving code into the crash way, aka change
"node->member" into "readmem(node) and OFFSET(member)"
Patch 5: print the added variables of offset/size table
Patch 6: Get rid of the compiling-time assgined arrays.
Patch 4-6 will make the POC work formal for use.
