Package "kdump-tools"

  makedumpfile (1:1.5.9-5ubuntu0.5) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Build on arm64. While this version of makedumpfile doesn't support
    creating filtered dumps of Ubuntu arm64 kernels, it does satisfy
    the dependency for kdump-tools, which will cleanly fallback to 'cp'
    mode if makedumpfile fails. LP: #1238110, LP: #1694859.

  makedumpfile (1:1.5.9-5ubuntu0.4) xenial; urgency=medium

  * d/p/0006-PATCH-Support-newer-kernels.patch :
    Support kernel versions up to 4.8 (LP: #1557751)
  * Turn hardcoded timeo and retrans NFS options into parameters that
    can be modified in /etc/default/kdump-tools. Also use the NFS defaults
    (timeo=600, retrans=3) for these parameters. Make those values visible
    in the 'show' command if NFS is configured (LP: #1641235)
  * Complete support for kernel versions 4.8 and later :
    d/p/0007-PATCH-Looking-for-page.compound_order-compound_dtor-.patch,
    d/p/0008-PATCH-Skip-examining-compound-tail-pages.patch (LP: #1655625)

  makedumpfile (1:1.5.9-5ubuntu0.3) xenial; urgency=medium

  * d/p/0003-PATCH-v2-Support-_count-_refcount-rename-in-struct-p.patch,
    d/p/0004-fix-readpage_elf-attempt-to-read-non-existent-page.patch
    Fix makedumpfile failure on 4.8 kernels.
     - Makedumpfile will exit on error with the following message :
       get_mem_map: Can't distinguish the memory type. (LP: #1626269)
     - Fix readpage_elf: Attempt to read non-existent page errors after
       previous patch is applied

  [ Rinat ]
  * Fix double-quote handling in /proc/cmdline
    Parsing of the cmdline would fail if double-quotes are encountered
    in /proc/cmdine (i.e. like when things like "acpi_osi=!Windows 2012"
    are found in the cmdline). (LP: #1644771)

  * Fix spelling error in debian/control

  makedumpfile (1:1.5.9-5ubuntu0.1) xenial; urgency=medium

  [ Hari Bathini <email address hidden> ]
  * Fix networked kdump failure to reach remote server.
    Avoids "Network is unreachable" message when trying to do remote dumps on
    either SSH or NFS. (LP: #1571590)

  * Replace maxcpus by nr_cpus
    nr_cpus is a hard limit that has an impact on the (kdump) kernel
    memory consumption, while it is not the case with maxcpus=1, as we can
    theoretically hotplug cpus with maxcpus=1 (LP: #1568952)

  * define_stampdir() : Loop on hostname -I for 5 sec to get IP address
    if HOSTTAG=ip. The network stack may not be ready when kdump-config runs.
    Give it some time before reverting HOSTTAG to hostname if an IP address
    cannot be found. (LP: #1599561)

  * Add cio_ignore result to /etc/default/kdump-tools on s390x
    In order to have crashkernel=128M to work correctly on the s390
    architecture the result of cio_ignore -u -k needs to be appended to the
    KDUMP_CMDLINE_APPEND variable in /etc/default/kdump-tools. This patch
    adds the required logic to do the proper modification. (LP: #1570775)

  * debian/rules : drop the dh_installinit override
    Uses a syntax which is no longer supported and generate an error on
    install. (LP: #1599491)
