%changelog
* Fri Jan 23 2009 bwalle@suse.de
- Don't build on 32 bit PPC to prevent distribution of 32 bit
PPC packages. Since kdump doesn't exist on ppc and crash-ppc
cannot read ppc64 (ELF64) dumps, such a package doesn't have
any practical benefit.
* Wed Nov 26 2008 bwalle@suse.de
- Fix Xen hypervisor mode (removal of struct domain::is_polling
element in Xen).
- Fix opening of Xen Dom0 dumps (switch from end_pfn to max_pfn
between 2.6.26 and 2.6.27).
* Wed Nov 12 2008 bwalle@suse.de
- Increase NR_CPUs on x86_64 to 4096 (FATE#304266).
* Tue Nov 11 2008 bwalle@suse.de
- Don't fail to start when no namelist (kernel) is specified on the
command line and live debugging (/dev/mem) is used.
* Mon Nov 10 2008 bwalle@suse.de
- Advise the user to use 'crosscrash' if he tries to open dumps
from different machines (FATE #302896).
* Thu Nov 06 2008 bwalle@suse.de
- Increase NR_CPUS to 1024 on ppc64.
- Implement size changes of struct module for kernel 2.6.27.
to be able to open dumps with that kernel version at ppc64.
* Thu Nov 06 2008 bwalle@suse.de
- Fix segmentation fault while executing crash command without any
parameter (bnc#441818).
* Sat Oct 25 2008 bwalle@suse.de
- Fix for the "files" command when run on 2.6.25 and later kernels,
which either fails with an "invalid kernel virtual address" error
of type "fill_dentry_cache", or shows nonsensical/garbage "ROOT"
and "CWD" directory pathnames.
* Tue Oct 21 2008 bwalle@suse.de
- SIAL extension: bitfield handling fixup.
* Thu Oct 16 2008 bwalle@suse.de

starts on the hard IRQ stack.
- Fix for "search -k" option on some ia64 hardware, depending
upon the underlying physical memory layout.

hypervisor binary.
- The "foreach" command has been removed from the set of commands
supported for usage with the xen hypervisor.
- Fix for "irq -d" option when run on x86_64 xen kernels.
- Avoid the symbolic translation of ia64 unity-mapped region 7
kernel virtual addresses as they are displayed by the "bt -r"
and "rd -[sS]" commands.
- Remove redundant storage of "swapper_pg_dir" symbol value
during x86 initialization.
- Recognize the removal of the "jiffies" variable when running
against newer versions of the xen hypervisor by indicating
"--:--:--" next to the UPTIME display.
- Fix to determine whether an x86 or x86_64 xen hypervisor was
built with PERCPU_SHIFT value of 12 or 13.
* Mon Oct 06 2008 bwalle@suse.de
- update to crash 4.0-7.2
o Fix for initialization-time failure when running against 2.6.27

ensuing error message.

when "node_online_map" is not in use.
o Implement support for s390/s390x CONFIG_SPARSEMEM kernels.

- Update crash-config-sparse.diff to match new upstream patch
version that will be included in next upstream release
(bnc#412894).
* Mon Aug 25 2008 bwalle@suse.de
- call "/usr/bin/nm" without -D first, and if that fails, use "-D".
* Mon Aug 25 2008 bwalle@suse.de
- update "/usr/bin/nm -d" instead of "/usr/bin/nm" to display the
backtrace because that works even if crash has been compiled
without debug information (without -g)

- update to crash 4.0-7.1
o Fix to address RT kernel's renaming of the
address_space.nrpages member to address_space.__nrpages

their output properly.
o Fix to allow the usage of the "-i inputfile" command line
option when operating from an init script.
o Fix for the "kmem -P <address>" option, where <address> is an
invalid physical address.
o Fix for a potential endless cascade of SIGFPE exceptions during
session initialization when a vmlinux and vmcore do not match,
and a correct System.map or a non-debug vmlinux file is not
supplied.
o More gracefully handle a nonsensical "search -u <address>"
command attempt on a kernel thread or any context with no user
address space.
o Reworked the "search" command for usage with the Xen
Hypervisor.
o Fix for initialization-time segmentation violation due to a
module allocating and creating an exported symbol list outside
of its own virtual address space, and then overwriting its own
symbol list pointer.
o Implementation of a "--minimal" command line option, which
brings up a crash session that is restricted to the "log",
"dis", "rd", "sym", "eval" and "exit" commands.
