[ubuntu/utopic-proposed] crash 7.0.5-1ubuntu1 (Accepted)

Mon May 19 13:53:18 UTC 2014

crash (7.0.5-1ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
    - Build for armhf, arm64.
    - Minor fixes for live autopkgtest.
    - debian/tests/live: Redirect gpg stderr to stdout, as that's the only
      known and expected stderr source.
  * Add ppc64el support (Bharata Rao, Mauricio Faria de Oliveira).

crash (7.0.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version 7.0.5
  * Fix for the "runq -g" option for kernels that are configured with
    CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED, but not CONFIG_CFS_BANDWIDTH.  Without the patch,
    the command fails with the message "runq: invalid structure member offset:
    cfs_rq_throttled".
  * Add support for Xen PVH guest types introduced in Xen 4.4.  Without the
    patch, running against a Xen 4.4 hypervisor binary would fail during
    session initialization with the error message "crash: invalid structure
    member offset: domain_is_hvm".  In addition, the PVH guest type is being
    registered internally as an HVM guest type, the debug "help -X ofs"
    command's display of the domain_domain_flags offset has been fixed to show
    it in decimal, and the setting of the internal dc->domain_flags has been
    fixed to contain all flags set, not just the first one found.
  * Fix for the "kmem -S" command on Linux 3.1 and later kernels that are
    configured with CONFIG_SLUB.  Because the the page structure's inuse and
    objects fields used by SLUB were changed from discrete u16 types to
    bit-fields within an unsigned int, the display of per-node partial slab
    statistics are incorrect.  Without the patch, the TOTAL and ALLOCATED
    values are incorrectly shown as equal values, and therefore the FREE value
    is always zero.
  * Fix for the "kmem -S" command for kernels that are configured with
    CONFIG_SLUB.  Eash per-cpu slab object dump may show incorrect ALLOCATED
    and FREE values; and as seen on Linux 3.5 and later kernels, the TOTAL
    value and the number of individual objects dumped may also be incorrect
    (too small).
  * When executing the commands from an input file specified by the "-i
    <file>" command line option, or when accepting input from a file as a set
    of commands or as a set of command arguments using the "<" redirection
    character, unconditionally cease the operation if CTRL-c is entered.
    Without the patch, depending upon the command that was running when the
    SIGINT was received, the operation may continue uninterruptibly until the
    file contents are consumed.
  * Enhanced the "bt -F" option such that if "-F" is entered twice, and if the
    stack frame contents reference a slab cache object, both the slab cache
    name and the stack contents will be displayed within brackets.
  * Enhanced the "rd -S" option such that if "-S" is entered twice, and if the
    memory contents reference a slab cache object, both the slab cache name
    and the memory contents will be displayed within brackets.
  * Fix for the X86_64 "bt" command to prevent an unwarranted message
    indicating "WARNING: possibly bogus exception frame" generated from a
    blocked kernel thread that was in the process of exec'ing a user process
    via the call_usermodehelper() facility.
  * Fix for the X86_64 "bt" command to more correctly determine the function
    frame that called into an interrupted function.  Without the patch, the
    first frame just above an IRQ exception frame register dump may show an
    invalid/stale function.
  * Fix for the X86_64 "bt" command if a page fault exception was generated by
    the invalid contents of the RIP register.  Without the patch, the
    exception frame register dump is not displayed above the "page_fault"
    stack frame; and in a related issue, the "bt -e" option will not find and
    display the exception frame.
  * When invoking a crash session with a compressed vmlinux file, make the
    same host-machine/vmlinux endian verification that is done with
    uncompressed vmlinx files.
  * Reduce the number of CTRL-c entries required to unconditionally terminate
    any manually-entered command from three to one.
  * Fix for the X86_64 "bt" command if an async page fault exception occurred
    in a KVM guest running a Linux 2.6.38 or later kernel.  Without the patch,
    the exception frame register dump is not displayed above the
    "async_page_fault" stack frame.
