[Crash-utility] [ANNOUNCE] crash gcore command, version 1.3.2 is released

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

This is the release of crash gcore command, version 1.3.2.

This release includes a fix for the issue reported by Eric Ewanco and
some bugfixes found on 4.8 kernel.

ChangeLog:

 - Fix a Segmentation fault issue caused by NULL pointer dereference
   due to a renaming of symbol old_rsp to rsp_scratch at the commit
   ac9af4983e77765a642b5a21086bc1fdc55418c4, triggered by the commit
   263042e4630a85e856b4a8cd72f28dab33ef4741 that changes a saving
   location of user stack pointer in syscall path from
   thread_struct::usersp to pt_regs at the bottom of kernel stack.

 - Fix a runtime error with an error message "invalid structure member
   offset: thread_struct_fs" due to a renaming of fs/gs members of
   thread_struct on x86 to fsbase/gsbase. Without this fix, gcore
   exits abnormally without producing any core file on this issue.
   (d.hatayama at jp.fujitsu.com)

 - Fix a Segmentation fault issue caused by NULL pointer dereference
   due to buffer overrun during a copy of floating pointer register
   values onto a buffer allocated on the stack where detected size of
   the copied floating register values are too large, larger than
   prepared buffer size.  This fix makes the copying floating pointer
   register values more fail safe to make sure at least that such
   detection of wrong data structure size doesn't make gcore process
   abnormally terminate.
