The reason that I ask the question(s) is that after I build elfutils-0.128 and then do 'make install', I can no longer build a kernel, i.e., kernel 'make' has errors, like:

Hi,

I did that, but I still cannot build a kernel, although the problem is different now. The build fails with:

Inconsistent kallsyms data
Try setting CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

even after I set/enable CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS.

Have you tested this on x86_64?

Thanks.

Sorry about this. Above was with the distro-installed 'ld' instead of the one built from elfutils-0.125. When I correct this, build fails like this:

Hi tachibana-san,

Thanks for that info. I completely missed that in the README file. Please update the README file with this patch.

Hi tachibana-san,

I have makedumpfile filtering working now. Much thanks.

Examples of filtering on a 1 GB x86_64 system, booted with "crashkernel=64M@16M" and then crashed (sysrq-c).

Various makedumpfile -d values and their results:

makedumpfile -d 1 -E -i vmcore.info vmcore.002 dump002.omit.zero makedumpfile -d 17 -E -i vmcore.info vmcore.002 dump002.omit.zero.free makedumpfile -d 23 -E -i vmcore.info vmcore.002 dump002.omit.zero.free.all.cache makedumpfile -d 31 -E -i vmcore.info vmcore.002 dump002.omit.all
