Subject: [PATCH 38/89] Fix for the invalid linux_banner pointer issue
|
2022-11-19 04:10:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, crash may fail with the following error:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# ./crash -s vmlinux vmcore
|
|
|
|
|
WARNING: invalid linux_banner pointer: 65762078756e694c
|
|
|
|
|
crash: vmlinux and vmcore do not match!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The reason is that the type of the symbol in the data segment may be
|
|
|
|
|
defined as 'D' or 'd'. The crash only handled the type 'D', but it
|
|
|
|
|
didn't deal with the type 'd'. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# nm vmlinux | grep linux_banner
|
|
|
|
|
ffffffff827cfa80 d linux_banner
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It has been observed that a vmlinux compiled by clang has this type.
|
|
|
|
|
Let's add the type 'd' recognition to solve such issue.
