christos c3e11c3703 - avoid using globals where it is simple.
- simplify: only use stdio for output.

christos 7249eb3f75 - always print corrupted dump messages instead of silently failing
- don't require /var/crash to be specified, default to it
- determine and print the kernel name
- print all messages to syslog

dogcow 9098338f79 Instead of exiting with an obscure error message if -N /kernelname isn't
specified, blithely assume the kernel will consume around 20 megs.

tls ede5dc65a8 Fix savecore so it uses /dev/ksyms when it can (doesn't override libkvm
default).  Fixes misc/38425.

ad 101a9782a2 Add crash(8), a utility to diagnose kernel crashes. This is basically
ddb running on crash dumps, but with two notable changes:

- Breakpoints, watches, etc are obviously never going to work so they
  are not handled.

- You can pipe output to the shell, e.g. ps | grep foo

Items remaining to be done:

- Port it to architectures other than i386. This isn't difficult, just
  a case of making db_disasm.c/db_trace.c or their equivalent compile
  and work.

- Make more of the "show" commands work, e.g "show uvmexp".

ad 2df6131a64 Enable the faked ELF kernel by default, now that ksyms output works with
gdb. Makes it possible to do post-mortem debugging on a modular kernel.
2008-12-05 21:41:10 +00:00
ad dc7ae0762f - Add code to produce a fake ELF kernel containing only symbol info. Done
by extracting ksyms state from the dump, so we have symbols for modules
  loaded at the time of the crash. If ksyms extraction fails, this falls
  back to the current behaviour of copying /netbsd.

- Leave it disabled for the moment: (1) we are about to branch (2) most
  tools understand the artificial kernel but gdb has trouble with it for
  some reason.

joerg 281bbad379 Explicitly check that the dump device is not the console, a tty or pty.
While the list is adhoc, the problems reported are always with
/dev/console. Adresses PR 38425 and similiar issues with Xen.

kardel e386d70092 accept either "time_second" or "time" as kernel timevariable in
order to support common userland in enviroments where
timecounter kernels and non timecounter kernel co-exist

tls e8092c77bc Fix an integer overflow that prevented saving cores from machines with
more than 2GB of RAM.

"dumpsize" in the on-disk core header is in pages, but, unfortunately,
c.size in our kcore format is an unsigned 32-bit int, gross.

We sleaze it, using a 64-bit int internally here and handing it to
libkvm as a *signed* 32-bit int.  Won't always work, but shouldn't be
broken any worse than it is now, and sometimes work better.

We must fix the kcore format and libkvm.

christos 6bd1d6d4db Replace the statfs() family of system calls with statvfs().
Retain binary compatibility.

christos 99319b80db Give a 60 day leeway instead of a week when judging if the dumptime is valid.
7 days is too short when you are debugging time problems.

lukem fa5157d9fb explicitly set the default compression level to 1 (from the implicit 6),
because it's significantly faster and doesn't use that much more disk space.
2001-09-12 03:14:08 +00:00
lukem fd08f59ac0 Add "-Z level" to control the compression level that -z uses (which
defaults to -Z 6).  Depending on the relative speed of the CPU
versus disk, "-zZ1" might be faster than no compression at all.
