From c164679bed3a5f0d235723c2395d9a5122b151c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilya Leoshkevich Date: Thu, 15 May 2025 17:52:13 +0200 Subject: scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390 during early boot Using lx-symbols during s390 early boot fails with: Error occurred in Python: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xcb in position 0: invalid continuation byte The reason is that s390 decompressor's startup_kernel() does not create vmcoreinfo note, and sets vmcore_info to kernel's physical base. This confuses get_vmcore_s390(). Fix by handling this special case. Extract vm_layout.kaslr_offset from the kernel image in physical memory, which is placed there by the decompressor using the __bootdata_preserved mechanism, and generate a synthetic vmcoreinfo note from it.
