adding DumpType output to crashinfo #347

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
After wading through a messload of crashdumps the other day, I figured there 
must be an easier way to determine the difference between full memory crash 
dumps and kernel ones.  Well, thank goodness Andreas Schuster figured out that 
there's a variable in the header that lets you know.  Now let's make use of it 
so it will make it easier for others as well.  (We occasionally questions about 
why a crash dump doesn't work and it turns out that it isn't a full memory 
dump).  

I'm proposing this goes into crashinfo since adding an assert to the address 
space disables this useful plugin from outputting info.  Patch attached.

Here's a patch gleeda and i came up with...

1) uses an overlay for Comment 
2) uses an overlay (Enumeration) for DumpType
3) adds SystemTime and SystemUpTime parsing to the output

We're not 100% sure about the conversion of the uptime so posting it here in 
case someone else has the time to verify.
