Adds "phys_base" in elf note section.
Nomura-san requested me by email that Ikeda-san would start working on the bug fix at bz#439304(REGRESSION). This event sent from IssueTracker by moshiro issue 171220 Created attachment 299967 [details]
Adds "phys_base" in elf note section, with care Xen.
Tested on x86_64 with:
- RHEL5.2-Server-20080326.0
- kernel.x86_64-2.6.18-87.el5
- kexec-tools.x86_64-1.102pre-16.el5
Confirmed clean build and proper creation of dumpfile with this patch.
Confirmed no regression on Xen environment. Tested on X86_64 with: - RHEL5.2-Server-20080402.0 -- kernel-2.6.18-88.el5 -- kernel-xen-2.6.18-88.el5 -- xen-3.0.3-61.el5 -- kexec-tools-1.102pre-16.el5 Below are confirmed both before and after applying patch(comment #3): - kdump can dump dom0/hypervisor - "xm dump-core" can dump para-virtualized domU in kernel-2.6.18-89.el5 You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5 Greetings Red Hat Partner, A fix for this issue should be included in the latest packages contained in RHEL5.2-Snapshot4--available now on partners.redhat.com.
