because ptrace-abi.h (included by ptrace.h) uses the "u32" typedef,
which relies on <asm/types.h>, and include/asm-x86_64/types.h does not
not typedef u32 as done in include/asm-x86/types.h.
- Update to enhance x86 and x86_64 gdb disassembly output so as to
symbolically display call targets from kernel module text without
requiring module debuginfo data.
- Fix hole where an ia64 vmcore could be mistakenly accepted as a usable
dumpfile on an x86_64 machine, leading eventually to a non-related
error message.
processor support for RHEL4
- Fixes potential "bt -a" hang on dumpfile where netdump IPI interrupted an
x86 process while executing the instructions just after it had entered
the kernel for a syscall, but before calling the handler. BZ #139437
- Update to handle backtraces in dumpfiles generated on IA64 with the INIT
switch (functionality intro'd in RHEL3-U5 kernel). BZ #139429
- Fix for handling ia64 and x86_64 machines booted with maxcpus=1 on an SMP
kernel. BZ #139435
- Update to handle backtraces in dumpfiles generated on x86_64 from the NMI
exception stack (functionality intro'd in RHEL3-U5 kernel).
- "kmem -[sS]" beefed up to more accurately verify slab cache chains and
report errors found.
- Fix for ia64 INIT switch-generated backtrace handling when
init_handler_platform() is inlined into ia64_init_handler(); properly
handles both RHEL3 and RHEL4 kernel patches. BZ #138350
- Update to enhance ia64 gdb disassembly output so as to symbolically
display call targets from kernel module text without requiring module
debuginfo data.
