原文链接《How to enable Kdump on RHEL 7 and CentOS 7》
Kdump是一种基于kexec的Linux内核崩溃捕获机制，简单来说系统启动时会预留一块内存，当系统崩溃调用命令kexec(kdump kernel)在预留的内存中启动kdump内核，
该内核会将此时内存中的所有运行状态和数据信息收集到一个coredump文件中以便后续分析调试。
本文介绍如何在Centos7/RHEL7 开启kdump。
步骤1 安装kexec-tools
- [vagrant@localhost ~]$ yum install kexec-tools
步骤2 设置crashkernel预留内存大小
- [vagrant@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/default/grub
- GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
- GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=“$(sed ‘s, release .*$,,g’ /etc/system-release)”
- GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
- GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
- GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=“console”
- GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=“<span style=”color:#ff0000;“>crashkernel=256M</span> rd.lvm.lv=centos/root rd.lvm.lv=centos/swap rhgb quiet”
- GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=“true”
修改crashkernel的大小，我的系统内存是1G，保留了256M，注意预留内存大小，过小会导致生成coredump文件失败（不知道设置多少时，可以尝试每次增加128M）
修改后还需重新生成grub配置文件，重启系统才能生效
- [vagrant@localhost ~]$ grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
- [vagrant@localhost ~]$ reboot
步骤3 修改kdump默认配置/etc/kdump.conf
centos7 默认已安装kdump，根据需要修改默认配置
- [vagrant@localhost ~]$ vi /etc/kdump.conf
- #指定coredump文件存储位置
- path /var/crash
- #增加-c参数，代表压缩coredump文件
- core_collector makedumpfile -c -l –message-level 1 -d 31
- #生成coredump后，重启系统，
- default reboot
步骤4 开启kdump服务
- [vagrant@localhost ~]$ systemctl start kdump.service //启动kdump
- [vagrant@localhost ~]$ systemctl enable kdump.service //设置开机启动
步骤5 测试kdump功能
检查kdump是否开启成功
- [vagrant@localhost ~]$ service kdump status
- Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status kdump.service
- ● kdump.service – Crash recovery kernel arming
- Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
- Active: active (exited) since Mon 2017–12–18 09:12:56 UTC; 43min ago
- Process: 913 ExecStart=/usr/bin/kdumpctl start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
- Main PID: 913 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
- CGroup: /system.slice/kdump.service
- [vagrant@localhost ~]$ systemctl is-active kdump.service
- active
手动触发crush
- [root@cloud ~]# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq ; echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
如果没有问题，系统会自动重启，重启后可以看到在/var/crash/目录下生成了coredump文件
- [vagrant@localhost ~]$ ls /var/crash/
- 127.0.0.1–2017–12–18–08:25:11
步骤6 安装crash，分析coredump文件
- [vagrant@localhost ~]$ yum install crash
- [vagrant@localhost ~]$ crash /var/crash/127.0.0.1–2017–12–18–08\:25\:11/vmcore /usr/src/kernels/linux-`uname -r`/vmlinux
输入问号”？“，查看crash支持的命令
- crash> ?
- * files mach repeat timer
- alias foreach mod runq tree
- ascii fuser mount search union
- bt gdb net set vm
- btop help p sig vtop
- dev ipcs ps struct waitq
- dis irq pte swap whatis
- eval kmem ptob sym wr
- exit list ptov sys q
- extend log rd task
比如log命令，可以看到系统crash时的打印信息
