coredump: Ensure proper size of sparse core files

2017-01-15T00:32:40+00:00

If the last section of a core file ends with an unmapped or zero page,
the size of the file does not correspond with the last dump_skip() call.
gdb complains that the file is truncated and can be confusing to users.

After all of the vma sections are written, make sure that the file size
is no smaller than the current file position.

This problem can be demonstrated with gdb's bigcore testcase on the
sparc architecture.

linux/coredump.h needs asm/siginfo.h

2012-10-19T21:07:47+00:00

Commit 5ab1c309b344 ("coredump: pass siginfo_t* to do_coredump() and
below, not merely signr") added siginfo_t to linux/coredump.h but forgot
to include asm/siginfo.h.  This breaks the build for UML/i386.  (And any
other arch where asm/siginfo.h is not magically preincluded...)

  In file included from arch/x86/um/elfcore.c:2:0: include/linux/coredump.h:15:25: error: unknown type name 'siginfo_t'

coredump: pass siginfo_t* to do_coredump() and below, not merely signr

2012-10-05T18:05:16+00:00

This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.

With this patch we pass "siginfo_t *siginfo" instead of "int signr" to
do_coredump() and put it into coredump_params.  It will be used by the
next patch.  Most changes are simple s/signr/siginfo->si_signo/.

coredump: update coredump-related headers

2012-10-05T18:05:15+00:00

Create a new header file, fs/coredump.h, which contains functions only
used by the new coredump.c.  It also moves do_coredump to the
include/linux/coredump.h header file, for consistency.

Un-inline the core-dump helper functions

2010-10-14T21:32:06+00:00

Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit
0eead9ab41da ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the
ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes.

Rather than add yet another include () to make everything
happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the
bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense.

dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway,
and none of them are in any way performance-critical.  And we really
don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already
are.
