[Bug 1341475] Re: linux-meta: enable linux-crashdump for ppc64el
patch sent to ubuntu kernel-team ML
** Description changed:
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
Users of ppc64el hardware need the ability to use crashdumps to do kernel debugging.
[Test Case]
Taken from:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/CrashdumpRecipe
https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/kernel-crash-dump.html
1) apt-get install linux-crashdump
2) reboot the machine
3) sudo sed -i 's/USE_KDUMP=0/USE_KDUMP=1/g' /etc/default/kdump-tools
4) kdump-config show # should return no errors
5) echo 'c' | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger
6) This should crash the machine and we should kexec into another kernel to dump the core, then on the next reboot we should see a crash in /var/crash/*
[Regression Potential]
Part of the fix involves adding a NEW package for ppc64el to allow linux-crashdump binary package to be built from linux-meta.
- [Workaround]
- 1) apt-get install kdump-tools
- 2) edit /etc/default/kdump-tools to have the following:
- USE_KDUMP=1
- KDUMP_KERNEL=/boot/vmlinux
- KDUMP_INITRD=/boot/initrd.img
- 3) reboot the machine
- 4) kdump-config show # should return no errors
- 5) echo 'c' | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger
