hmm, at least CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y would be needed.

Hi Kazuhito san,

I am getting the following error when trying to use makedumpfile utility.

> copy_vmcoreinfo: Can't open the vmcoreinfo file(/tmp/vmcoreinfoLUQc25). No such file or directory.
> makedumpfile Failed

In your setup how are you providing the vmcoreinfo file? In my case it
is checking /tmp/vmcoreinfoLUQc25
Who generates this file?
Thank you very much.

Generally, vmcoreinfo is copied from vmcore's ELF note to /tmp/vmcoreinfoXXXXXX
by makedumpfile, please see copy_vmcoreinfo().  So no need to provide explicitly.

Is there the /tmp directory on your environment?

Sorry. I am not sure how but I completely missed this email.
Yes, /tmp was not available in my env. I just did mkdir before
executing `makedumpfile` and it is now working well.
Thank you very much.

Re: Compiling makedumpfile from source

[manty kuma]

Hi Kazuhito san,

I am looking to better understand the sections being filtering out
with each of the following options.

Zero page:
Pages that are empty. Ignoring these pages won't have any impact on analysis.

non-private cache and private cache:
What exactly are these sections of memory? Just a one-line overview
about them is sufficient.
(My understanding was that cache is not part of RAM. Is this cache
something else? Like some bookkeeping data maintained by the kernel?)


user data:
Are these sections of the memory for the user space processes/memory
sections allocated using malloc?
My understanding is that If I exclude this section, gcore would not
work. Is my understanding correct?
I expected this section to be big. But in fact excluding this did not
have much impact on the dump size.

free page:
unallocated pages. Since they are not allocated. filtering them out
won't have any impact on dump analysis.
Please correct me if I am wrong.


If there is already some place that explains what these sections
filter out, please just drop the reference to them and i will look
into it.
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi kazuhito san,

Just following up on my last email.
Sincere apologies for asking for your time.
I want to specifically understand what the "user data" section is and
what it means to exclude it from the dump.

Thank you very much.

"user data" are anonymous pages or huge pages.
https://github.com/makedumpfile/makedumpfile/blob/master/makedumpfile.c#L6224

Please consult the __exclude_unnecessary_pages() function above for
what conditions correspond to the type of page.

Ah, I thought by mistake that you failed to compile makedumpfile.
Probably you should ask it to the elfutils community.

btw, if you can use makedumpfile with dynamic libraries, maybe you
can use the distribution's packages without building elfutils.
I'm not familiar with Debian/Ubuntu, but I built a makedumpfile on
an Ubuntu machine once with the following packages:
  libdw-dev libelf-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev
and "make LINKTYPE=dynamic", please see FAQ.002 in README.

Re: Compiling makedumpfile from source

[manty kuma]

When i try to makedumpfile without vmcorefile, it complains that
"/tmp/vmcoreinfo no such file or directory" and fails to collect the dump.

From the README it appears to me that makedumpfile can get vmcoreinfo
from /proc/vmcore
Is there any special CONFIG needed to support this?

Thank you in advance!

Regards,
Manty

It could be built with elfutils-0.144 or later at the point of v1.6.7, and
I can build the latest makedumpfile with elfutils-0.148, 0.164, 0.182 on
some RHEL environments on hand with "make LINKTYPE=dynamic".

What command do you use to build?  and what error do you see?

Thanks,
Kazu

Re: Compiling makedumpfile from source

[manty kuma]

Thank you.
for example, i am trying to compile: elfutils-0.182 package downloaded
from https://sourceware.org/elfutils/ftp/0.182/
After successfully configuring it, make fails with following error.

----------------------------------------
Making all in libdwfl
  CC       zstd.o

make[2]: *** [zstd.o] Error 1
----------------------------------------

Seems like the configure file is not checking for specific version of
libzstd-dev and it is not compatible with my current libzstd-dev
My current version is as follows:
---
$ apt-show-versions libzstd-dev
libzstd-dev:amd64/stretch 1.1.2-1+deb9u1 uptodate
---

Thank you.

Re: Compiling makedumpfile from source

[manty kuma]

I removed existing libzstd and installed the latest one from

Now, elfutils compiles fine.


But when compiling makedumpfile i have following issue:
