Hi Pratyush,
I made the following changes to the code:
KVBASE was being mapped to page_offset, so the mem_map that I saw using
the kmem command in crash did not seem to audit with the data generated by
make dumpfile. I changed this to vmalloc_start.
After making the above change the mem_map was getting generated fine. But
still I am always failing in:
================================
ptea = pte_offset(&pmdv, vaddr);
/* 64k page */
if (!readmem(VADDR, (unsigned long long)ptea, &ptev, sizeof(ptev))) {
ERRMSG("Can't read pte\n");
return NOT_PADDR;
}
=================================
The KERN_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE evaluates to 56 and not 64. I changed the
required value and the arch info is now valid.
I am still failing in the page translation. I will highly appreciate any
help with this.
Thanks,
Sameer
