I am using debian 9.4, the kernel version shown by 'uname -a' is different, what's the actual kernel version? What does '4.9.82-1+deb9u3' mean?
Code:
Linux debian 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.82-1+deb9u3 (2018-03-02) x86_64 GNU/Linux
'apt-get source linux' can get the source code of current kernel, then I can get original kernel tar file and debian patch.
Code:
$ls
linux-4.9.82 linux_4.9.82-1+deb9u3.dsc
linux_4.9.82-1+deb9u3.debian.tar.xz linux_4.9.82.orig.tar.xz
'linux_4.9.82-1+deb9u3.debian.tar.xz' contains many files, what are them used for? how to patch the it to 'linux_4.9.82.orig.tar.xz ' ?
'linux-4.9.82' is the kernel source folder outputted by 'apt-get source' command, which can be compiled to vmlinux. However, I usually can't debug the crash dump files with the vmlinux, as 'crash' command gives the error message: mismatch version. Should I download 'kernel 4.9.0' from kernel.org instead of 'linux-4.9.82' to debug my current running kernel ?
