<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <tt>- Merged third round of "xencrash" patches, which allows a crash</tt> <tt> session to alternatively be brought up against the xen-syms</tt> <tt> binary instead of a vmlinux kernel. This update introduces</tt> <tt> support for ia64. (oda@valinux.co.jp)</tt><tt></tt> <tt>- Verified support of live system analysis of ia64 xen kernels, and</tt> <tt> removed unnecessary EFI memory verification warning message during</tt> <tt> their initialization. (anderson@redhat.com)</tt><tt></tt> <tt>- Added gdb's "shell" command to the prohibited gdb command list, and</tt> <tt> updated the "help output" page to describe shell escape usage.</tt> <tt> (anderson@redhat.com)</tt><tt></tt> <tt>- Fix for the x86 "bt" command for the 2.6.20 kernel, which has added</tt> <tt> the "xgs" field to the pt_regs structure. Without this patch, the</tt> <tt> exception frame dump in "bt" would show invalid contents for several</tt> <tt> registers; the fix also shows the GS register contents.</tt> <tt> (anderson@redhat.com)</tt><tt></tt> <tt>- Fix for the "mount" command for the 2.6.20 kernel to recognize the</tt> <tt> new "nsproxy" field in the task_struct and the contents of the</tt> <tt> nsproxy and mnt_namespace structures, in order to find the root</tt> <tt> mount namespace. Without the patch, the command would fail with:</tt> <tt> "mount: invalid kernel virtual address: 69 type: first list entry".</tt> <tt> (anderson@redhat.com)</tt><tt></tt> <tt>- Fix for the "files" command for the 2.6.20 kernel to handle the</tt> <tt> removal of the fdtable "max_fdset" member.

(anderson@redhat.com)</tt><tt></tt> <tt>- Fix for the "net -[sS]" command options for the 2.6.20 kernel to</tt> <tt> handle the removal of the fdtable "max_fdset" member.

(anderson@redhat.com)</tt><tt></tt> <tt>- Fix for the "vm" command for the 2.6.20 kernel to handle the removal</tt> <tt> of the file structure's "f_dentry" member, and its placement inside</tt> <tt> the embedded "path" structure.
