[PATCH v2 resend 2/3] makedumpfile: make the incomplete dumpfile generated by ENOSPC error analyzable

Wang, Xiao/Wang Xiao wangx.fnst at cn.fujitsu.com
Mon Sep 22 18:20:35 PDT 2014


Since the incomplete dumpfile generated by ENOSPC error can't be anylyzed
by crash utility, but sometimes this file may contain important information
and the panic problem won't be reproduced, then we came up with an idea to
modify the exist data of the incomplete dumpfile to make it analyzable by
crash utility. And each of those dumpfiles has a flag to indicate that it
has been modified. As there are two formats of these dumpfiles, different
methods and flags are needed to deal with each of them,

elf:
Modify the value of the PT_LOAD program header to reflect the actual size
of the incomplete dumpfile. This method can't be used to modify the dumpfile
written in flattened mode. This format use the "e_flags" of "elf header"
to indicate that it has been modified.

The method of dealing with "kdump-compressed" format dumpfiles is 
implemented
in the next patch.
