Status in makedumpfile source package in Xenial:

Status in makedumpfile source package in Bionic:

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  New upstream kernel versions, as those in linux-hwe package, require a newer 
makedumpfile to be supported. Otherwise, all copies fallback to copying the 
entire memory.

  [Test case]
  kdump-tools has been installed, system rebooted, then crash trigerred and 
verified that a small dump file was present on /var/crash/. Tested on amd64 and 
ppc64le.

  [Regression potential]
  Many other bug fixes have been included in the latest version of the package. 
The changes are supposed to fix these bugs, and have been tested as well. 
However, as the total of changes is not trivial, there is impact of regression 
that has been minimized by the tests done. Regression potential of not 
supporting older kernels has been tested with the kernels shipped on xenial and 
artful as well.

  ---Problem Description---
  update makedumpfile to latest version v1.6.3 that officially supports
  up to kernel version 4.14.8. Since makedumpfile is inherently backward 
compatible,
  this would not break existing functionality..

  Contact Information = hbath...@in.ibm.com

  ---uname output---

  ---Debugger---
  A debugger is not configured

  ---Steps to Reproduce---
   makedumpfile reports ""The kernel version is not supported" while generating 
vmcore
  Also, there is a possibility of bogus address translations in makedumpfile 
tool with
  missing upstream patches. Can't be so sure without an exhaustive testing. 
Instead,
  it would be a good idea to go with the version which officially supports the 
kernel
  version in question.

Similar story on artful. Captured dump successfully on artful - kernel version
linux-image-4.13.0-43-generic, using makedumpfile verion 1:1.6.3-2~17.10.1

But vmalloc address translation failed while analyzing the dump with the
crash tool version 7.1.9-1 shipped with 17.10.1.

Though, was able to analyze the dump successfully using the crash tool
version 7.2.1-1 shipped with bionic.

Thanks
Hari

Hello bugproxy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted makedumpfile into xenial-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/makedumpfile/1:1.6.3-2~16.04.1 in a
few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

  [Test case]
  kdump-tools has been installed, system rebooted, then crash trigerred and 
verified that a small dump file was present on /var/crash/. Tested on amd64 and 
ppc64le.

  [Regression potential]
  Many other bug fixes have been included in the latest version of the package. 
The changes are supposed to fix these bugs, and have been tested as well. 
However, as the total of changes is not trivial, there is impact of regression

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1746299] Re: update makedumpfile tool version to v1.6.3

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

Hi.

As of now, the package is only ready for bionic, so this would need to
be tested on bionic. Also, there is a problem on some of the KPTI
kernels that includes 4.13 and 4.4 (but not the current 4.15 on bionic).
This problem requires a package that is now on my ppa, no you will need
to install makedumpfile from that.

As this patch would be required for any xenial backport, I am requesting
that you test it on bionic right now, with 4.13 kernel. Otherwise, I
can't push something that is not tested on real ppc64el hardware to
xenial. Can you do that?

Thank you very much.
Cascardo.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1746299] Re: update makedumpfile tool version to v1.6.3

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

Sorry, but that version number is not sufficient. It cannot distinguish
between package versions, which might contain patches? When you give a
makedumpfile version, can you use dpkg -s makedumpfile?

Also, I need to know which kernel version you dumped with that. And if
crash could successfully load it. It might be that makedumpfile dumps
(though incorrectly) a newer kernel, but, then, crash won't be able to
analyze it. Can you test that? And, please, test the makedumpfile from
the ppa.

Thanks.
Cascardo.

I opened bug LP#1750021 [1]. It contains a debdiff with what I intent to

kpti fixes, it contains an arch-independent patch that breaks kdump.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1746299] Re: update makedumpfile tool version to v1.6.3

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

Hi, Breno.

I will try to push makedumpfile, kexec-tools and crash on the basis that
those new versions are required to support new kernels as the ones that
come from linux-hwe. New version upgrades are allowed. Even though the
following link [1] mentions microreleases, and we would upgrade from
1.5.9 to 1.6.3, I believe the exception still applies.

However, that means that we will need to test it much more. So, I would
like your help with testing that combination on as many environments as
possible. If I give you a personal PPA with those packages, will you be
able to test it on different scenarios (NUMA systems, like ones with no
node 0), systems with large amounts of memory (512GiB and up), etc?

Thanks.
Cascardo.

Hi Cascardo,

How are you planning to fix it on 16.04 since package version upgrade is
not allowed? Are you going to cherry pick the patches?

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1746299] Re: update makedumpfile tool version to v1.6.3

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

Hi, Hari.

It's already in bionic. However, due to some of the changes on kpti
patches, it might fail to properly work, and there is no upstream
makedumpfile fix in the works yet, so I am debugging and working on it,
so we will get something that will also work for those latest kernels we
have released.

Thanks.
Cascardo.

Title:
  update makedumpfile tool version to v1.6.3

Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project:
  In Progress
Status in makedumpfile package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

  == Comment: #0 - Hari Krishna Bathini  - 2018-01-30 
10:46:53 ==
  ---Problem Description---
  update makedumpfile to latest version v1.6.3 that officially supports
  up to kernel version 4.14.8. Since makedumpfile is inherently backward 
compatible,
  this would not break existing functionality..
   
  Contact Information = hbath...@in.ibm.com 
   
  ---uname output---
  na
   
  Machine Type = na 
   
  ---Debugger---
  A debugger is not configured
   
  ---Steps to Reproduce---
   makedumpfile reports ""The kernel version is not supported" while generating 
vmcore
  Also, there is a possibility of bogus address translations in makedumpfile 
tool with
  missing upstream patches. Can't be so sure without an exhaustive testing. 
Instead,
  it would be a good idea to go with the version which officially supports the 
kernel
  version in question.
   
  Userspace tool common name: makedumpfile 
   
  The userspace tool has the following bit modes: 64-bit 

  Userspace rpm: makedumpfile

  Userspace tool obtained from project website:  na 
   
  *Additional Instructions for hbath...@in.ibm.com:
  -Attach ltrace and strace of userspace application.

  With kernel version updated to 4.13.0, please update makedumpfile tool
  version to 1.6.3 which officially supports up to kernel version 4.14.8 [1].

  Thanks
