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.
