makedumpfile (1:1.6.0-1) sid; urgency=medium
* New upstream version includes :
o Exclude page structures of non-dumped pages
- Add the new option "-e" to exclude the page structures which correspond
to excluded pages. This option will bring a great performance, but it
will harm analyticity a little bit. Please see the note below:
NOTE: If you specify this option, crash will show the message below
and the 'kmem' command will not work.
This dumpfile is incomplete because the page structures associated
with excluded pages may also be excluded. This may cause the crash
session to fail entirely, may cause commands to fail (most notably
the "kmem" command), or may result in unpredictable runtime behavior.
Now this option supports only x86_64.
o Support new kernels
- The supported kernel is updated to 4.5 in this version.
