From aa5763800d614ff6080fd1909517a3939c250e86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lianbo Jiang Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2023 12:36:18 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix warning about kernel version inconsistency during crash startup Currently, the symbol ".rodata" may not be found in some vmlinux, and the strings command will still be used to get the linux banner string, but this gets two strings as below: # strings vmlinux | grep "Linux version" Linux version 6.5.0-0.rc2.17.fc39.x86_64 ... GNU ld version 2.40-9.fc39) # SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Linux version 6.5.0-0.rc2.17.fc39.x86_64 ... GNU ld version 2.40-9.fc39) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Jul 17 14:57:35 UTC 2023 In the verify_namelist(), the while-loop will only determine if the first linux banner string above matches and break the loop. But actually the second string above is correct one. Eventually, crash starts up with the following warning: # ./crash -s vmlinux vmcore WARNING: kernel version inconsistency between vmlinux and dumpfile # ./crash -s WARNING: kernel version inconsistency between vmlinux and live memory Let's always try to match the correct one, otherwise still prints a warning as before.
