    [PATCH] i386 vDSO: use VM_ALWAYSDUMP · f47aef55
    Roland McGrath 提交于
    This patch fixes core dumps to include the vDSO vma, which is left out now.
    It removes the special-case core writing macros, which were not doing the
    right thing for the vDSO vma anyway.  Instead, it uses VM_ALWAYSDUMP in the
    vma; there is no need for the fixmap page to be installed.  It handles the
    CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO case by making elf_core_dump use the fake vma from
    get_gate_vma after real vmas in the same way the /proc/PID/maps code does.
    
    This changes core dumps so they no longer include the non-PT_LOAD phdrs from
    the vDSO.  I made the change to add them in the first place, but in turned out
    that nothing ever wanted them there since the advent of NT_AUXV.  It's cleaner
    to leave them out, and just let the phdrs inside the vDSO image speak for
    themselves.
