Changelog

crash (7.2.8-1ubuntu0.18.04.1) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Version bump from Focal, based on upstream release 7.2.8 (LP: #1865041):
    - Multiple fixes up to kernel 5.5-rc1 (e.g., fixes for kmem/timer/log
      commands, for kernels with symbol namespaces and with KASLR enabled).
    - Improve handling of /proc/kcore (live memory) for x86_64 kernels with
      CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE enabled.
    - Fix ARM64 page size handling on kernel 4.4 and before.
    - Improve offset gathering and ELF support on KASLR kernels in S390X.
    - Support xz compressed vmlinux.
    - Fallback to log buffer parsing in case panic task can't be determined
      by normal means in the dumpfile.
  * Remaining changes:
    - Update the maintainer field for Ubuntu.
    - If the "live" autopkgtest fails with a recommendation to try
      /proc/kcore instead of the default, attempt that before failing
      the test. LP: #1858958.
  * Fix test, as if will return 0 when no cases were true.

crash: kernel debugging utility, allowing gdb like syntax

 The core analysis suite is a self-contained tool that can be used to
 investigate either live systems, or multiple different core dump formats
 including kdump, LKCD, netdump and diskdump.
 .
 o The tool is loosely based on the SVR4 crash command, but has been
    completely integrated with gdb in order to be able to display
    formatted kernel data structures, disassemble source code, etc.
 .
 o The current set of available commands consist of common kernel core
    analysis tools such as a context-specific stack traces, source code
    disassembly, kernel variable displays, memory display, dumps of
    linked-lists, etc. In addition, any gdb command may be entered,
    which in turn will be passed onto the gdb module for execution.
 .
 o There are several commands that delve deeper into specific kernel
    subsystems, which also serve as templates for kernel developers
    to create new commands for analysis of a specific area of interest.
    Adding a new command is a simple affair, and a quick recompile
    adds it to the command menu.
 .
 o The intent is to make the tool independent of Linux version dependencies,
    building in recognition of major kernel code changes so as to adapt to
    new kernel versions, while maintaining backwards compatibility.
