I  tested with "trusty-proposed" packages and crash tool is working
fine.

Steps to install trusty-proposed crash tool:

1)   Added below entry in /etc/apt/source.list
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ trusty-proposed restricted main multiverse universe 

2)   Did apt-get update

3)  Check for crash tool
root@ubuk60:~# apt-cache policy crash
crash:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 7.0.3-3ubuntu3
  Version table:
     7.0.3-3ubuntu3 0
        500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ trusty-proposed/main ppc64el Packages
root@ubuk60:~# 

4)  apt-get install crash

5)  crash /usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux-3.13.0-27-generic
/root/kal_ubu_stress.dump

I could able to invoke crash with debug linux and able to see the bt
etc....


We can push this package to SRU.

Title:
  crash tool support for the ppc64el arch

Status in “crash” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “crash” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  Impact: crash doesn't work on ppc64el architectures
  Test Case: run crash on a ppc64el crash dump
  Regression Potential: This only affects ppc64el architectures, and is currently in utopic.

  Hi,

  Is it possible to (discuss how to) enable the crash package to on the
  ppc64el arch?

  Recently the kernel received the config changes
  (CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, currently in the -proposed pocket [1])

  Is it hard to move to GDB 7.7? (ppc64el GDB package starts on that
  version).

  Thanks!

  For testing the trusty SRU:

   - the package builds on ppc64el
   - follow test procedure from comment #6
