Hi All, We came across another failure in makedumpfile when kaslr is enabled. This failure occurs when we try re-filtering. We try to erase some symbol from a dumpfile which was copied/compressed from /proc/vmcore using makedumpfile. We have very limited symbol information in vmcoreinfo. So symbols to be erased may not be available in vmcoreinfo and we look for it in vmlinux. However, symbol address from vmlinux is a static address which differs from run time address with KASLR_OFFSET. Therefore, reading any "virtual address of vmlinux" from vmcore is not possible. These patches finds runtime KASLR offset and then calculates run time address of symbols read from vmlinux. Hatayama Daisuke also found some issue [1] when he was working with a sadump and virsh dump of a none kaslr kernel. Patch 2/2 of this series has been improved to take care of those issues as well.
