Subject: [PATCH] arm64, kaslr: export offset in VMCOREINFO ELF notes
Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2018 03:07:44 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1531949864-27447-1-git-send-email-bhsharma@redhat.com> (raw)
Include KASLR offset in VMCOREINFO ELF notes to assist in debugging.
makedumpfile user-space utility will need fixup to use this KASLR offset
to work with cases where we need to find a way to translate symbol
address from vmlinux to kernel run time address in case of KASLR boot on
arm64.
I already have those fixup ready, which will be sent upstream once this
patch makes through (see [0]).
I tested this on my qualcomm amberwing board both for KASLR and
non-KASLR boot cases:
Without this patch:
# cat > scrub.conf << EOF
[vmlinux]
erase jiffies
erase init_task.utime
for tsk in init_task.tasks.next within task_struct:tasks
erase tsk.utime
endfor
EOF
# makedumpfile --split -d 31 -x vmlinux --config scrub.conf vmcore dumpfile_{1,2,3}
readpage_elf: Attempt to read non-existent page at 0xffffa8a5bf180000.
readmem: type_addr: 1, addr:ffffa8a5bf180000, size:8
vaddr_to_paddr_arm64: Can't read pgd
readmem: Can't convert a virtual address(ffff0000092a542c) to physical
address.
readmem: type_addr: 0, addr:ffff0000092a542c, size:390
check_release: Can't get the address of system_utsname
After this patch check_release() is ok, and also we are able to erase
symbol from vmcore (I checked this with kernel 4.18.0-rc4+):
# makedumpfile --split -d 31 -x vmlinux --config scrub.conf vmcore dumpfile_{1,2,3}
The kernel version is not supported.
The makedumpfile operation may be incomplete.
