RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Stanislav Kozina 2012-06-21 11:20:26 UTC 
Description of problem:

sym command should print 0x prefix before the hex address, so the output could be directly passed to px command if neccessary.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

# rpm -qf /usr/bin/crash
crash-5.1.8-1.el6.x86_64
megatron$ rpm -qf `which crash`
crash-6.0.5-0.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sym schedule
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

crash> sym schedule
ffffffff800623d0 (T) schedule ../debug/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18-308.el5.x86_64/kernel/sched.c: 3520

Expected results:

crash> sym schedule
0xffffffff800623d0 (T) schedule ../debug/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18-308.el5.x86_64/kernel/sched.c: 3520

Comment 1 Dave Anderson 2012-06-21 13:17:25 UTC 
Sorry, no, that's not going to happen.  A foundational tenet of the
crash utility is the avoidance of the 0x whenever possible, both for user
input and command output.

Now, I would consider adding an option to the "sym" command that would pre-pend
the 0x.
Comment 3 Dave Anderson 2012-06-21 15:12:19 UTC 
> Is 123456 Dec/Hex/Oct ?

Can you give me an example where there's a question of what a number is?

> Does crash utility team have any strategy, how to handle such cases?

There's no "crash utility team" -- there's me, plus an active community
that I lead on the crash-utility mailing list.  Patches are
posted there regularly and other discussions held, but I am the gate-keeper
since I wrote the thing from scratch many years ago.  I typically release
a new upstream version once-a-month.  I do have some architecture 
sub-maintainers for ARM, S390X and PPC64, who handle some of the more
machine-specific stuff.
Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 06:59:47 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 23:10:33 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
