QA:Testcase Kdump Func Default

Setup

1. Install Fedora 17 on your machine
2. After system installed, check if kexec-tools kernel-debuginfo and crash is installed via

   rpm -q kexec-tools kernel-debuginfo crash

   Or via yum

   yum install kexec-tools kernel-debuginfo crash

3. Reserve crashkernel for kdump by grubby 

   grubby --args="crashkernl=128M" --update-kernel=$(grubby --default-kernel)

   Reboot system and check /proc/cmdline

   cat /proc/cmdline | grep "crashkernel"

4. Edit /etc/kdump.conf, add this line:

    ext4 /dev/mapper/vg_dhcp6558-lv_root

   core_collector makedumpfile -E -d 31

5. Apply changes and start kdump via service kdump restart

How to test

Download crash-simple.cmd and crash.cmd at
http://hongqing.fedorapeople.org/script/crash-simple.cmd http://hongqing.fedorapeople.org/script/crash.cmd

1. Trigger crash via:

   echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

2. Analyse vmcore:

   readelf -a /var/crash/xxx/vmcore

   objdump -x /var/crash/xxx/vmcore

   eu-readelf -a /var/crash/xxx/vmcore

3. Use crash to analyse vmcore:

   crash -i crash-simple.cmd /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/xxx/vmlinux /var/crash/xxx/vmcore

   crash -i crash.cmd /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/xxx/vmlinux /var/crash/xxx/vmcore

4. Use gdb to analyse vmcore:

   gdb -x gdb.cmd /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/xxx/vmlinux /var/crash/xxx/vmcore

Expected Results

1. Dump process could be monitered if console is connected
2. System reboot successfully after dump vmcore finshed
3. vmcore was found under path /var/crash/xxx/vmcore
4. readelf should return 0, and no "warning" "warnings" found on output
   1. objdump should return 0
   2. eu-readelf should return 0
5. No warning or error should be should found on crash output
6. No warning or error should be should found on gdb output
