- Implementation of 7.0.4 from upstream and patch refresh.
- Fix for the "ps" command's display of per-task RSS and %MEM values
in Linux 2.6.34 and later kernels in which SPLIT_RSS_COUNTING is
enabled. Without the patch, the values are only taken from each
task's mm_struct.rss_stat structure, which may contain stale values
because they may not be synchronized with the RSS values stored
in each per-thread task_struct.rss_stat structure; this may lead
to invalid or slightly low RSS values, and worst-case, the %MEM
value may show garbage percentage values.

- Addressed a few (harmless) Coverity Scan complaints in diskdump.c:
1579:dead_error_line – Execution cannot reach this expression ""|""
inside statement "fprintf(fp, "%sDUMP_DH_COMP...".
1574:dead_error_line – Execution cannot reach this expression ""|""
inside statement "fprintf(fp, "%sDUMP_HEADER_...".
1571:dead_error_line – Execution cannot reach this expression ""|""
inside statement "fprintf(fp, "%sDUMP_HEADER_...".

- Addressed two warnings when compiling diskdump.c on 32-bit architectures
when the snappy library is built in:
diskdump.c:1046: warning: passing argument 3 of
'snappy_uncompressed_length' from incompatible pointer type
/usr/include/snappy-c.h:120: note: expected ‘size_t *’ but argument
is of type ‘ulong *’
diskdump.c:1056: warning: passing argument 4 of ‘snappy_uncompress’
from incompatible pointer type
/usr/include/snappy-c.h:103: note: expected ‘size_t *’ but argument
is of type ‘ulong *’

- Created a simpler interface with the internal do_list() function.

- Implementation of 7.0.3 from upstream and patch refresh.
- Fix for the ARM architecture if the backtrace unwind information
cannot be gathered during session initialization. Without the patch,
the two unwind-related warning messages indicating "WARNING: UNWIND:
failed to gather unwind_table list" and "WARNING: UNWIND: failed to
initialize module unwind tables" are followed by the fatal error
message "crash: cannot hash task_struct entries".

- Fix for the "help -[Dn]" dumpfile information display of the GUID EFI
table in the header of SADUMP dumpfiles. Without the patch, only 33
of the 36 bytes in the table are translated.

- Fix for the determination of the kernel NR_CPUS configurable for
Linux 3.8 and later kernels that are configured with CONFIG_SLAB.
Without the patch, the kernel's compiled-in NR_CPUS value was
incorrectly calculated to be the sum of the kernel's NR_CPUS and
MAX_NUMNODES configurables.

- In the next release of makedumpfile, the status field of the
dumpfile header of compressed kdumps will show the compression
type that was utilized. The "help -[Dn]" output has been updated
to display that information.

- For kernels configured with CONFIG_SLAB in which an array_cache
pointer referenced by a kmem_cache structure is invalid, the
individual cache(s) will be marked as invalid. During session
initialization, the message "crash: kmem_cache: <cache-address>:
invalid array_cache pointer" will be displayed, and during runtime,
attempts to access the cache(s) will result in a message indicating
