[Crash-utility] [PATCH v3 0/2] Crash-Utility: crash enhancement to support s390x diskdump

[Mahesh J Salgaonkar]

Hi All,

There was problem in my earlier posting. I had miss-spelled my id in the
From: field. Hence resending it again.

Please find the version 3 of crash patchset that enables crash utility to read
s390x diskdump (DUMPFILE generated by makedumpfile).

The first patch enhances crash utility to read elf notes section from
DUMPFILE if Kdump header >= 4.

The second patch adds crash support to read s390x diskdump. This patch also
implements new arch dependent interface process_elf_notes() to read CPU
register infromation stored in ELF notes section.

Change v3:
- Re-based to crash-5.0.9

Change v2:
- Re-based to crash-5.0.8
- Modified __diskdump_memory_dump() function to display contents of
  all 4 additional fields in the kdump_sub_header.
- Modified __diskdump_memory_dump() to dump the vmcoreinfo ASCII strings.

Please review the changes and send in your comments.

Thanks,
-Mahesh.
