Hello all, I built the kernel 6.14-rc1 on Fedora 41 and the crash utility doesn't work as expected. Quickly investigating the issue, the commit below from last month changes a field in the struct dentry and it seems to be the reason for the errors I am seeing. dcache: back inline names with a struct-wrapped array of unsigned long https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/58cf9c383c5c686668082f83f7e0f3e0bd5cc2e3#diff-b11f554b3424c2d794e935f9d5839994f57fc241249928acd57103e2574eb5ccL93 The error is the following: crash> vtop -c 1224 0x41400000 VIRTUAL PHYSICAL 41400000 51144000 PGD: 24438000 => dfaf067 PUD: dfaf008 => 109fd067 PMD: 109fd050 => fc07067 PTE: fc07000 => 8000000051144867 PAGE: 51144000 PTE PHYSICAL FLAGS 8000000051144867 51144000 (PRESENT|RW|USER|ACCESSED|DIRTY|NX) VMA START END FLAGS FILE vtop: invalid structure member offset: dentry_d_iname FILE: filesys.c LINE: 3242 FUNCTION: get_pathname_component() BFD: /usr/bin/crash: unknown type [0x13] section `.relr.dyn' [/usr/bin/crash] error trace: 556181a34180 => 556181a331c5 => 556181a76b10 => 556181b4adab BFD: /usr/bin/crash: unknown type [0x13] section `.relr.dyn' vtop: invalid structure member offset: dentry_d_iname FILE: filesys.c LINE: 3242 FUNCTION: get_pathname_component() crash> I changed the field name and it seems to work now without errors, but I don't know the crash source code and didn't check the commit in details or even other ones applied to 6.14-rc1 to make sure there's not more problems for crash. I'd say there might be more changes to be done to really fix the potential issues. The command I was using and resulted in error works just fine now, but as I said, there might be more changes in order to really support the 6.14 kernel. $ sudo ./crash_modified/crash ~/work/kernels/packages/linux_upstream_6.14_rc1/vmlinux crash 8.0.6++ Copyright (C) 2002-2025 Red Hat, Inc.
