[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1064475] Re: crash version is outdated. Needs to import Debian version of the package
This bug was fixed in the package crash - 6.1.6-1ubuntu0.13.04.1 --- crash (6.1.6-1ubuntu0.13.04.1) raring-proposed; urgency=low * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1064475). Remaining changes: - debian/rules: Always build extensions and package them. - debian/rules: Cleanup for extensions. * Dropped ubuntu changes: - SPU extension support. * debian/control: Add armhf to build architectures. crash (6.1.6-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version 6.1.6 * Fix for a crash-6.1.5 regression that causes the "mount" command to fail on kernel versions prior to Linux 3.3. Without the patch, the command fails with the message "mount: invalid structure member offset: mount_mnt_devname". crash (6.1.5-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * New upstream version 6.1.6 * Fix for the ARM "irq" command. Without the patch, on 2.6.34 and later kernels configured with CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ, the command fails with the error message "irq: cannot determine number of IRQs". * Fix for a segmentation violation generated during invocation while parsing a makedumpfile-created "flat-format" vmcore-incomplete file. Without the patch, the crash session would display the error message "crash: unable to seek dump file vmcore-incomplete", followed by a segmentation violation. * Fix for a segmentation violation generated by the "kmem -s" option when encountering a corrupted array_cache structure that contains a bogus "avail" count that is greater than the maximum legitimate limit value. Without the patch, the "kmem -s" command would print a warning message regarding the invalid array_cache, complete the command normally, and then generate a segmentation violation when freeing buffers used by the command. * Update to the "kmem -s" function to include the errors found in slab structures to the display of total errors found when the command completes. Without the patch, invalid list_head pointers, bad inuse counters, and bad s_mem pointers were not added to the total number of errors found. * Fix for "crash --osrelease " and "crash --log " when run on an ARM compressed kdump with a crash binary that was built with "make target=ARM" on an x86 or x86_64 host. Without the patch, if the compressed kdump header version is 4 or 5, "crash --osrelease" fails with the error message "crash: compressed kdump: cannot lseek dump vmcoreinfo" followed by "unknown", and "crash --log" fails with the error message "crash: : no VMCOREINFO section". * Enhancement to the "swap" command to display the swap_info_struct address of each configured swap device. The output has been changed to display the address in the first column, and the variable-length device name has been moved to the last column. * Fix for the "kmem -[sS]" options on kernels that configured with both CONFIG_SLUB and CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT, and that are running on hardware that generates NUMA nodes that contain no memory. Without the patch, both command options fail immediately with the message "kmem: invalid kernel virtual address: 8 type: kmem_cache_node nr_partial". * Increment the PPC64 NR_CPUS maximum value from 1024 to 2048. * Strip the ".isra." and ".part." appendages to cloned text symbol names, which seem to have been introduced by gcc-4.6.0. To keep them intact, a "--no_strip" command line option has been added. * Patch to the internal gdb_get_datatype() function to return the typecode and length of integer variables. * Fix for the "dev -d" option on Linux 3.6 and later kernels. Without the patch the option fails with the message "dev: invalid structure member offset: request_queue_rq". * Export the red/black tree utility functions rb_first(), rb_parent(), rb_right(), rb_left(), rp_next() and rb_last(). Without the patch, they are statically declared and only used by the "runq" command. * Implemented a new "timer -r" option that displays the hrtimer queues, supporting all versions from Linux 2.6.16 to the present. * Fix for "kmem -s" on Linux 3.8 and later kernels that are configured with CONFIG_SLAB. The kmem_cache.array[] length has been extended to store the nodelist pointers, so the original method to determine the per-cpu array limit can go out-of-range. Without the patch, during session initialization there may be a message that indicates "crash: invalid kernel virtual address: type: array cache limit", followed by "crash: unable to initialize kmem slab cache subsystem"; if those messages do get shown, then "kmem -s" will subsequently fail during runtime with the message "kmem: kmem cache slab subsystem not available". * Two Xen hypervisor fixes: (1) Fix console buffer content length calculation: Function displaying console buffer always assumes its content length equal to console buffer size.
