<pre wrap="">I released a new makedumpfile (version 1.2.0) with vmcoreinfo support.
I updated the patches for linux and kexec-tools.
PATCH SET:
[1/2] [linux-2.6.22] Add vmcoreinfo
The patch is for linux-2.6.22.
The patch adds the vmcoreinfo data. Its address and size are output
to /sys/kernel/vmcoreinfo.
[2/2] [kexec-tools] Pass vmcoreinfo's address and size
The patch is for kexec-tools-testing-20070330.
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/horms/kexec-tools/">http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/horms/kexec-tools/</a>)
kexec command gets the address and size of the vmcoreinfo data from
/sys/kernel/vmcoreinfo, and passes them to the second kernel through
ELF header of /proc/vmcore. When the second kernel is booting, the
kernel gets them from the ELF header and creates vmcoreinfo's PT_NOTE
segment into /proc/vmcore.

<pre wrap="">Hi,
When using the vmcoreinfo patches, what tool(s) are available for
analyzing the vmcore (dump) file? E.g., lkcd or crash or just gdb?
gdb works for me, but I tried to use crash (4.0-4.6 from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://people.redhat.com/anderson/">http://people.redhat.com/anderson/</a>) and crash complained:
crash: invalid kernel virtual address: 0 type: "cpu_pda entry"
Should crash work, or does it need to be modified?

Hi Randy,
Crash should just work. It might broken on latest kernel. Copying it
to crash-utility mailing list. Dave will be able to tell us better.
