      sh: dwarf unwinder depends on SHcompact. · da47f4a3
      由 Paul Mundt 提交于 
      Presently there's no SHmedia support plugged in for the dwarf unwinder.
While it's trivial to provide an SHmedia version of dwarf_read_arch_reg(),
the general sh64 case is more complicated in that the TLB miss handler
uses a locked down set of registers for optimization (including the frame
pointer) which we need for the unwind table generation.

While freeing up the frame pointer for use in the TLB miss handler is
reasonably straightforward, it's still more trouble than it's worth, so
we simply restrict the unwinder to 32-bit for now.

      Quite a bit of fallout all over the place, nothing terribly exciting.

      coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag · 909af768
      由 Jason Baron 提交于 
      The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).

Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.

The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.

The qemu code which implements this features is at:

  http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch

In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.

I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.

This patch:

The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.
