Description Marc Milgram 2017-01-24 14:51:39 UTC
Description of problem:
The panic messages captured in the console log output show the RIP symbolic with a hex address.  retrace server shows similar output from the bt -a using decimal offsets.

Generally, it is easier to stay consistent and use hex output where possible.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
https://git.fedorahosted.org/git/retrace-server.git

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Submit a dump to retrace-server where the dump's RIP has a symbolic address with an offset
2. Look retrace-server output
3. Look at bt-a output (as retrace-server generated it)

Actual results:
The console output is of the form:
RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8129ee1b>]  [<ffffffff8129ee1b>] plist_add+0x2b/0xa0
But the bt-a output is of the form:
    [exception RIP: plist_add+43]

Expected results:
Output all in hex

Additional info:
crash may be run in hex mode in one of two ways
  crash --hex -s vmcore vmlinux
or
  crash -s vmcore vmlinux
  radix 16

Comment 1 Dave Wysochanski 2017-02-15 17:22:52 UTC
There's some commands where I think it would not be good to default to hex.  For example, we run 'sys -c' and 'hex' mode shows unfamiliar numbering in the syscalls.

The original request was for backtraces and I think it's perfectly fine to default to hex there so it matches oops and we can get consistency.  I talked with Marc online and he was ok with this.  There's basically two commands we run: 'bt -a' and 'foreach bt'

I'll take this and submit a patch shortly as it's an easy fix.

Comment 4 Dave Wysochanski 2017-02-16 11:23:07 UTC
Minor issue with merge request - will change the patch to use 'set hex' method to ensure the largest backward compatibility (early RHEL6 builds of crash did not have '--hex' for example).
