makedumpfile (1:1.6.3-2~16.04.1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Backport latest makedumpfile to xenial. (LP: #1746299)
  * Revert to build-depending on dh-systemd, as xenial does not have
    debhelper >= 9.20160709.

makedumpfile (1:1.6.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add support for SPARSEMEM_EXTREME mem_section as a pointer. (LP: #1750021)
  * Add an autopkgtest that test that a crash produces a compressed dump
    file.
  * Create initrd for previously installed kernels. (LP: #1751329)

makedumpfile (1:1.6.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release. Main new feature:
    o Support new kernels
     - The supported kernel is updated to 4.14.8 in this version. (LP: #1746299)
       4.14.9 and later can't be filtered correctly due to inappropriate VMCOREINFO,
       it will be resolved in kernel 4.15.

makedumpfile (1:1.6.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ dann frazier ]
  * Make the kdump kernel cmdline consistent in comments, code & docs.
  * Set reasonable default cmdlines for arm64.  (Closes: 883899)
  * ppc64el: Remove ata_piix.prefer_ms_hyperv=0 from crashkernel cmdline

    which is obsolete. Thanks lintian.

  [ Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo ]
  * Set crashkernel for ppc64el to load at 128M instead of 32M. That allows
    larger kernels to boot. (LP: #1728115)

makedumpfile (1:1.6.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo ]
  * Add ucf support

    /etc/default/kdump-tools was already changed by the maintainer script,
    so it should not be a conffile. ucf allows the maintainer scripts to ask
    the user about changes done by the user to the config file.

    Invoking debconf first in the script is desired, because the frontend
    might exec and invoke the script itself again. Also, we install the
    generated file instead of the original file, as we will replace some of
    the settings.  (Closes: 877250)

makedumpfile (1:1.6.2-0.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.

  * New upstream release. Main new feature:
    o Support for sparc64
     - sparc64 is supported from this version, it's tested on kernel-4.1.12.

    o Add new option for --dump-dmesg
     - Introduce the new option "--partial-dmesg", it can exclude the buffers
       cleared by "dmesg --clear" while the current --dump-dmesg always extracts
       the whole ring buffer.

    o Support new kernels
     - The supported kernel is updated to 4.11 in this version.

  * New upstream version includes :
    o Exclude page structures of non-dumped pages
     - Add the new option "-e" to exclude the page structures which correspond
       to excluded pages. This option will bring a great performance, but it
       will harm analyticity a little bit. Please see the note below:

       NOTE: If you specify this option, crash will show the message below
             and the 'kmem' command will not work.

           This dumpfile is incomplete because the page structures associated
           with excluded pages may also be excluded.  This may cause the crash
           session to fail entirely, may cause commands to fail (most notably
           the "kmem" command), or may result in unpredictable runtime behavior.

       Now this option supports only x86_64.

    o Support new kernels
     - The supported kernel is updated to 4.5 in this version.

    Limit the number of dumps kept on the local machine

    Introduce a new config variable KDUMP_NUM_DUMPS that specifies how
    many dumps should be kept on the machine. This can be use to prevent
    running out of disk space. It is ignored if remote dumping (ssh or nfs)
    is enabled. If there are too many dump files, older dumps are purged but
    only after the current dump operation succeeded.

    kdump-config: add support for UEFI Secure Boot

    kdump-config needs to query the state of UEFI Secure Boot in order to correctly
    use kexec to boot the crash kernel. Specifically, kexec needs the "-s" option
    to use the kexec_file_load system call to validate the image before loading it.
    (Closes: #823003)

  * [Hari Bathini <hbathini at linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

    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)

  * Add support for architecture-specific crashkernel param

    On Debian, the crashkernel boot parameter is left undefined. On Ubuntu
    it was defined in the kexec-tools package, modified specifically.

    This parameter is now defined by the kdump-tools package and uses an
    architecture-specific file containing the definition. A generic symlink
    called /etc/default/grub.d/kdump-tools.cfg points to the architecture
    specific file.
    
    The default values are :

     - All but ppc64el : 128M
     - ppc64el : 2G-4G:320M,4G-32G:512M,32G-64G:1024M,64G-128G:2048M,128G-:4096M at 32M

    (LP: #1567539)
    On s390x architecture, the crashkernel parameter is added to the
    /etc/zipl.conf file.

    /etc/default/kdump-tools is also modified to use the cio_ignore parameter
    when kexec loads the crash kernel (LP: #1570775)
