[Crash-utility] Re: source line numbers and modules (on x86_64)

[Mike Snitzer]

Hi,

I searched the archives and found that you've discussed an issue I'm
seeing with x86_64 kernels where crash doesn't have line numbers for
modules' symbols:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/crash-utility/2008-January/msg00021.html

I'm using crash-4.0-6.3 on a RHEL5U1 x86_64 system with a custom
2.6.22.19 kernel.  Given that the RHEL5U1 x86_64 kernels clearly do
provide accurate line numbers for modules, has anyone identified how
that is?  I have to believe the redhat kernel is patched to fix this
issue.

I looked over the various redhat patches that are applied to RHEL5's
2.6.18 sources but can't see a patch that stands out as specifically
addressing this x86_64 issue.  But I could easily be overlooking some
patch.

please advise, thanks.
Mike
