Hello,I'm trying to start use of Kdump in my Xen 4.16 setup with Ubuntu 18.04.6 ( 5.4.0-137-generic ). I was able to load "dump-capture kernel" with kexec-tools and collect crashdump with makedumpfile like this: ``` makedumpfile -E -X -d 0 /proc/vmcore /var/crash/dump ``` This dump file could be used to analyze Dom0 panics. Though I have some issues while analyzing dump file for Xen kernel: ```~/src/crash/crash --hyper ~/xen-syms-dbg/usr/lib/debug/xen-syms /var/crash/202301241536/dump.202301241536 crash 8.0.2++ ... GNU gdb (GDB) 10.2 ... crash: invalid kernel virtual address: 1ef8 type: "fill_pcpu_struct" WARNING: cannot fill pcpu_struct. crash: cannot read cpu_info. ```As far as I know developers community of crash utility doesn't actively support Xen. From https://github.com/crash-utility/crash/issues/21#issuecomment-330847410 : ``` I cannot help you with Xen-related issues because Red Hat stopped releasingXen kernels several years ago (RHEL5 was the last Red Hat kernel that contained a Xen kernel). Since then, ongoing Xen kernel support in the crash utility has been maintained by engineers who work for other distributions that still offer Xen kernels. ```Does anybody use kdump to analyze Xen crashes? Could anybody share some tips and tricks with me to use crash or other tools with such dumps? Thanks a lot. -- Best regards, Sergey Kovalev
