Qiao,

Did you save the vmcore file?

It's typically impossible to debug crash issue that occur with dumpfiles
without having the vmcore.

Comment 3 Dave Anderson 2015-08-03 15:28:13 UTC

I have another vmcore and can reproduce the problem.

This was introduced by this RHEL7.2 bugzilla:

  BZ #1227508 - Enhancement to the ARM64 backtrace capability
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1227508

It requires a one-line fix.

Comment 4 Dave Anderson 2015-08-03 17:59:28 UTC

Fix applied in the upstream crash-utility git repository:

https://github.com/crash-utility/crash/commit/9c102f994856d1de5a62644822d07a99318073cb

  Fix for a segmentation violation generated by the ARM64 "bt -[f|F]" 
  options when analyzing the active tasks in vmcores generated by the
  kdump facility.  This bug is a regression that was introduced in 
  crash-7.1.2 by commit 15a58e4070486efa2aa965bdd636626e62b65cc7, which
  was an enhancement of the ARM64 backtrace capability for active tasks
  in kdump vmcores.
