Fixed In Version: kexec-tools-2.0.25-7.el8
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.`makedumpfile` has been rebased to version 1.7.2 The `makedumpfile` tool, which makes the crash dump file small by compressing pages or excluding memory pages that are not required, has been rebased to 1.7.2 version. The rebase includes many bug fixes and enhancements. The most notable change includes adding a 5-level paging mode for standalone dump (`sadump`) mechanism on AMD and Intel 64-bit architectures. The 5-level paging mode extends the processor’s linear address width to allow applications access larger amounts of memory. 5-level paging extends the size of virtual addresses from 48 to 57 bits and the physical addresses from 46 to 52 bits.
