architecture. For compressed kdump and ELF kdump dumpfiles, the
elf_prstatus structure in each per-cpu NT_PRSTATUS note will be
translated.

The "help -r" option has been extended to dump the PPC64 registers
stored in each per-cpu NT_PRSTATUS note in compressed kdump and
ELF kdump dumpfiles.

architectures. Without the patch, backtraces of the active tasks
may be "empty" on little-endian machines, or show a one-liner of
the form: "#0 [c0000005f4db7a60] (null) at 501 (unreliable)" on
big-endian machines.

architectures. Without the patch, the command fails with the message
"crash: seek error: physical address: <address> type: log_buf
pointer", followed by "crash: cannot read log_buf value". This bug
was introduced in crash-7.0.0 by a patch that added support for the
PPC64 BOOK3E processor family.

for analyzing little-endian PPC64 dumpfiles on an x86_64 host, which
can be done by entering "make target=PPC64". After the initial build
is complete, subsequent builds can be done by entering "make" alone.

cpus offline themselves during a kdump procedure. This causes an
invalid cpu count determination during crash session initialization
from an ARM vmcore. The patch utilizes the cpu count found in the
cpu_active_map if it is greater than the count in the cpu_online_map.
In addition, the maximum NR_CPUS value for the ARM architecture has
been raised from 4 to 32.
