makedumpfile (1:1.5.8-4ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium
* kdump-tools now make use of smaller initrd.img files created in
/var/lib/kdump. This avoid optential OOM when the size of the initrd.img
becomes larger (LP: #1496317). Implementation details are :
- New kernel hooks are added to create smaller initrd.img files when new
kernel packages are installed :
/etc/kernel/postrm.d/kdump-tools
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/kdump-tools
- kdump-config is responsible for the maintenance of symbolic links used
to point to the appropriate vmlinuz & initrd files. Link maintenance
is done at each boot by kdump-config. New links will point to the
files named after the running kernel.
- The KDUMP_KERNEL and KDUMP_INITRD configuration variables are now
now enabled and use the symbolic links :
/var/lib/kdump/vmlinuz
/var/lib/kdump/initrd.img
o kdump-config has been adapted to show the symbolic link information

* New upstream version includes :
o Fair I/O workload assignment for --split
- Add the new option "--splitblock-size" to specify the permissible
difference of each splitted dumpfile size. Please note that the
difference can be larger than the specified size since this feature
doesn't care about zero page filtering.
o Make incomplete dumpfile readable
- DUMP_DH_COMPRESSED_INCOMPLETE or DUMP_ELF_INCOMPLETE flag will be set
in the header of dumpfiles if ENOSPC occurs. The flags make crash utility
attempt analyzing the dumpfile even it is known to be incomplete.
o Support new kernels
- The supported kernel is updated to 3.19 in this version.
