Description
IBM Bug Proxy
2010-09-13 19:10:58 UTC
Will this be needed even if we do the rebase to binutils requested in BZ 633574 ? The minimum binutils version including this feature is: binutils 2.20.51.0.7 So if the rebase asked in Bug 633574 (>=2.21) is done, there is no need for IBM to provide a backport for this feature. Please let us know if you are rebasing binutils to inform the developers asap not to do the backport (they will start quite soon). Thank you! ------- Comment From rsisk.com 2010-10-04 10:36 EDT------- Code Upstream Status: Accepted There are no plans to rebase binutils in RHEL 6.1, please proceed with backports for RHBZs 631540, 633377 and 633448. IBM is signed up to test and provide feedback, setting OtherQA. Created attachment 463523 [details]
binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.11-s390-add-elf-notes.patch
------- Comment on attachment From michael.holzheu.com 2010-11-29 10:58 EDT-------
binutils: Add new ELF core dump notes sections for extra s390 registers
For s390 ELF core dumps currently only the PSW, the general purpose registers,
and access registers are stored in the PRSTATUS notes section. For analyzing
s390 kernel problems additional registers are important. In order to be able
to include these registers to kernel ELF core dumps, this patch adds the
following five new note sections:
* NT_S390_TIMER: S390 timer
* NT_S390_TODCMP: S390 TOD comparator register
* NT_S390_TODPREG: S390 TOD programmable register
* NT_S390_CTRS: S390 control registers
* NT_S390_PREFIX: S390 prefix register
This enhancement request was evaluated by the full Red Hat Enterprise Linux team for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux minor release. As a result of this evaluation, Red Hat has tentatively approved inclusion of this feature in the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update minor release. While it is a goal to include this enhancement in the next minor release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the enhancement is not yet committed for inclusion in the next minor release pending the next phase of actual code integration and successful Red Hat and partner testing. ------- Comment From mgrf.com 2011-04-05 02:20 EDT------- Verified on r 6.1 snapshots - set to verified Thanks ~~ Partners and Customers ~~ This bug was included in RHEL 6.1 Beta. Please confirm the status of this request as soon as possible. If you're having problems accessing 6.1 bits, are delayed in your test execution or find in testing that the request was not addressed adequately, please let us know. Thanks! From mail: FYI: Test completed the test for the features impacted by binutils against snap5. They haven't found any issue with the new binutils and the features work as expected with this new version.
