Doc Text: |
When analyzing a KVM dump file from an x86 guest system, the crash utility was unable to determine the starting EIP and ESP hooks, and produced an invalid backtrace. With this update, the crash utility has been updated to use the 64-bit CPU device format in x86 KVM dump files by default, and only use the 32-bit format when it is determined that the host machine was running a 32-bit kernel. As a result, running the "bt" command when analyzing such a dump file now produces a correct backtrace.
