-Subject: [PATCH 4/7] [PATCH] Fix wrong exclusion of slab pages on Linux
- 6.2-rc1
-
-* Required for kernel 6.2
-
-Kernel commit 130d4df57390 ("mm/sl[au]b: rearrange struct slab fields to
-allow larger rcu_head"), which is contained in Linux 6.2-rc1 and later,
-made the offset of slab.slabs equal to page.mapping's one.  As a result,
-"makedumpfile -d 8", which should exclude user data, excludes some slab
-pages wrongly because isAnon() returns true when slab.slabs is an odd
-number.  With such dumpfiles, crash can fail to start session with an
-error like this:
-
-  # crash vmlinux dumpfile
-  ...
-  crash: page excluded: kernel virtual address: ffff8fa047ac2fe8 type: "xa_node shift"
-
-Make isAnon() check that the page is not slab to fix this.

-Subject: [PATCH 5/7] [PATCH] sadump: fix failure of reading memory when
- 5-level paging is enabled
-
-makedumpfile fails as follows for memory dumps collected by sadump
-when 5-level paging is enabled on the corresponding systems:
-
-    # makedumpfile -l -d 31 -x ./vmlinux ./dump.sadump dump.sadump-ld31
-    __vtop4_x86_64: Can't get a valid pgd.
-    ...snip...
-    __vtop4_x86_64: Can't get a valid pgd.
-    calc_kaslr_offset: failed to calculate kaslr_offset and phys_base; default to 0
-    __vtop4_x86_64: Can't get a valid pgd.
-    readmem: Can't convert a virtual address(ffffffff82fce960) to physical address.
-    readmem: type_addr: 0, addr:ffffffff82fce960, size:1024
-    cpu_online_mask_init: Can't read cpu_online_mask memory.
-
-    makedumpfile Failed.
-
-This is because 5-level paging support has not been done yet for
-sadump; the work of the 5-level paging support was done by the commit
-30a3214a7193e94c551c0cebda5918a72a35c589 (PATCH 4/4 arch/x86_64: Add
-5-level paging support) but that was focused on the core part only.
-
-Having said that, most of things has already been finished in the
-commit. What needs to be newly added for sadump is just how to check
-if 5-level paging is enabled for a given memory dump.
-
-For that purpose, let's refer to CR4.LA57, bit 12 of CR4, representing
-whether 5-level paging is enabled or not. We can do this because
-memory dumps collected by sadump have SMRAM as note information and
-they include CR4 together with the other control registers.

-Subject: [PATCH 6/7] [PATCH 1/2] eppic: Fix incompatible pointer type warnings
-
-On Linux, eppic defines ull (a bit confusingly) as uint64_t. This
-is an unsigned long on 64-bit platforms with both GCC and LLVM, and
-the compiler complains about passing a pointer to an unsigned long
-where a pointer to an unsigned long long is expected.
-
-It is not a real bug, because both types are identical on 64-bit
-platforms, and on 32-bit platforms, uint64_t denotes an unsigned
-long long, but the warning is annoying.
