2017-01-15coredump: Ensure proper size of sparse core filesDave Kleikamp1-0/+1
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.

2012-10-20linux/coredump.h needs asm/siginfo.hRichard Weinberger1-0/+1
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...)

2012-10-05coredump: pass siginfo_t* to do_coredump() and below, not merely signrDenys Vlasenko1-2/+2
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/.

2012-10-05coredump: update coredump-related headersAlex Kelly1-0/+5
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.

2010-10-15Un-inline the core-dump helper functionsLinus Torvalds1-32/+2
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 (<asm/unistd.h>) 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.

2010-10-14Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumpsLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping code). Just remove it. Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write(). It probably doesn't matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ... [ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of calling ->write directly. That also does the whole fsnotify and write statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ] And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even compile) Reported-by: akiphie <akiphie@lavabit.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-03-06coredump: move dump_write() and dump_seek() into a header fileDaisuke HATAYAMA1-0/+41
My next patch will replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions, putting them into other newly created *.c files. Then, each files will contain dump_write(), where each pair of binfmt_*.c and elfcore.c should be the same. So, this patch moves them into a header file with dump_seek(). Also, the patch deletes confusing DUMP_WRITE macros in each files.
