Subject: add CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=656eb2cd5da153762f2e8419ca117ce12ef522c3;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

add CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS

This adds a kconfig option to change the /proc/PID/coredump_filter default.
Fedora has been carrying a trivial patch to change the hard-wired value for
this default, since Fedora 8.  The default default can't change safely
because there are old GDB versions out there (all before 6.7) that are
confused by the core dump files created by the MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS setting.

+	  ELF core dump files describe each memory mapping of the crashed
+	  process, and can contain or omit the memory contents of each one.
+	  The contents of an unmodified text mapping are omitted by default.
+
+	  For an unmodified text mapping of an ELF object, including just
+	  the first page of the file in a core dump makes it possible to
+	  identify the build ID bits in the file, without paying the i/o
+	  cost and disk space to dump all the text.  However, versions of
+	  GDB before 6.7 are confused by ELF core dump files in this format.
+
+	  The core dump behavior can be controlled per process using
+	  the /proc/PID/coredump_filter pseudo-file; this setting is
+	  inherited.  See Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt for details.
+
+	  This config option changes the default setting of coredump_filter
+	  seen at boot time.  If unsure, say N.
