Improve kernel crashdump upload infrastructure
a project by puzel
Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.

Kernel dumps, provided by our customers, are uploaded by Customer Support to ziu.suse.de and shared via NFS to L3 servers at which they're analyzed. This procedure works, but likely has room for improvement.

The goal of the project is to understand the workflows and needs of Customer Support, L3 and engineering (Labs) and to implement a system to automate parts of the workflows.

Ideas:

  • Web interface to attach certain metadata to the coredump, e.g. bug number, timestamp, ...
  • Automatically add a comment to respective bugzilla entry (new dump available)
  • Set up the crash analysis environment (crash-setup)
  • Run a set of scripts to check for common issues

    Symbol Relations by hli

    Description

    There are tools to build function call graphs based on parsing source code, for example, cscope.

    This project aims to achieve a similar goal by directly parsing the disasembly (i.e. objdump) of a compiled binary. The assembly code is what the CPU sees, therefore more "direct". This may be useful in certain scenarios, such as gdb/crash debugging.

    Detailed description and Demos can be found in the README file:

    Supports x86 for now (because my customers only use x86 machines), but support for other architectures can be added easily.

    Tested with python3.6

    Goals

    Any comments are welcome.

    ghostwrAIter - a local AI assisted tool for helping with support cases by paolodepa

    Description

    This project is meant to fight the loneliness of the support team members, providing them an AI assistant (hopefully) capable of scraping supportconfigs in a RAG fashion, trying to answer specific questions.

    Goals

    • Setup an Ollama backend, spinning one (or more??) code-focused LLMs selected by license, performance and quality of the results between:
    • Setup a Web UI for it, choosing an easily extensible and customizable option between:
    • Extend the solution in order to be able to:
      • Add ZIU/Concord shared folders to its RAG context
      • Add BZ cases, splitted in comments to its RAG context
        • A plus would be to login using the IDP portal to ghostwrAIter itself and use the same credentials to query BZ
      • Add specific packages picking them from IBS repos
        • A plus would be to login using the IDP portal to ghostwrAIter itself and use the same credentials to query IBS
        • A plus would be to desume the packages of interest and the right channel and version to be picked from the added BZ cases
