Bug 1421657

Fixed in crash-utility upstream:

https://github.com/crash-utility/crash/commit/24a696228c56fd4354d29abe05b206373e0c8bfb

  commit 24a696228c56fd4354d29abe05b206373e0c8bfb
  Author: Dave Anderson <anderson>
  Date:   Thu Jan 5 14:55:18 2017 -0500

    Fix for Linux 4.10 commit 7fd8329ba502ef76dd91db561c7aed696b2c7720
    "taint/module: Clean up global and module taint flags handling".
    Without the patch, when running against Linux 4.10-rc1 and later
    kernels, the crash utility fails during session initialization with
    the message "crash: invalid structure size: tnt".
    (panand)

I plan to do a package rebase when the next upstream release is done,
but in the interim, you can build the package from the github sources:

 $ git clone git://github.com/crash-utility/crash.git
 $ cd crash
 $ make lzo snappy
 $ make install

Okay Dave, 

I tried building crash, it also got failed with following logs

What happens when you try this:

$ wget https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/crash/7.1.7/2.fc26/src/crash-7.1.7-2.fc26.src.rpm
$ rpm -ivh crash-7.1.7-2.fc26.src.rpm
$ cd $HOME/rpmbuild/SPECS
$ rpmbuild -a crash.spec

Make that last command

$ rpmbuild -ba crash.spec

I'm thinking that it's this patch that went into crash-7.0.2, but which
only modified the crash.spec file that is used when building with
rpmbuild.  Building from the tar.gz file directly would show this:

    - Added "bison" to the BuildRequires line of the crash.spec file.
      Without the patch, the build of the embedded gdb-7.6 module will fail
      unless either /usr/bin/bison or /usr/bin/yacc are available.  The
      failure will result in a stream of error messages from different
      files that indicate:

        multiple definition of 'main'
        undefined reference to 'c_parse_escape'
        undefined reference to 'ada_parse'
        undefined reference to 'ada_error'
        undefined reference to 'c_parse'
        undefined reference to 'c_error'
        undefined reference to 'cp_demangled_name_to_comp'
        undefined reference to 'cp_demangled_name_parse_free'
        undefined reference to 'cp_comp_to_string'
        undefined reference to 'cp_new_demangle_parse_info'

      and the build fails like so:

        collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
        make[4]: *** [gdb] Error 1
        crash build failed

      If building with rpmbuild, the new BuildRequires "bison" entry will
      prevent the build from initiating unless the bison package has been
      installed.  If building with the tar.gz file, the build attempt will
      proceed and fail unless either the bison or byacc (Berkeley Yacc)
      package is installed.
      (anderson)

I need to install following packages
yum  install bison readline-devel snappy-devel

then crash build success and got the binary into BUILD dir.

but the problem still remain same with same error as,

You can build the upstream tar.gz file now since you have installed the
required packages.

I have download tar from https://people.redhat.com/anderson/ .

But still seems like same error although build is successful as followed steps during build.

In order to run against a 4.10-rc (rawhide) kernel, you need to build
from the current github sources, so try this again:
 
 $ git clone git://github.com/crash-utility/crash.git
