From afa840dcc021eaeb975dcde3bedbf46ea0511717 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergio Lopez Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2017 09:17:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Implement 'set dump-excluded-mappings' command Commit df8411da087dc05481926f4c4a82deabc5bc3859 implemented support for checking /proc/PID/coredump_filter, and also changed gcore behavior to unconditionally honor the VM_DONTDUMP flag, preventing sections marked as such for being dumped into the core file. This patch implements the 'set dump-excluded-mappings' command for instructing gdb to ignore the VM_DONTDUMP flag. Combined with 'set use-coredump-filter', this allows the user to restore the old behavior, dumping all sections (except the ones marked as IO) unconditionally. gdb/Changelog: 2017-11-29 Sergio Lopez * linux-tdep.c (dump_excluded_mappings): New variable. (dump_mapping_p): Use dump_excluded_mappings variable. (_initialize_linux_tdep): New command 'set dump_excluded_mappings'. --- gdb/linux-tdep.c | 30 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 29 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/gdb/linux-tdep.c b/gdb/linux-tdep.c index 24237b8d39d..c8a8216c547 100644 --- a/gdb/linux-tdep.c +++ b/gdb/linux-tdep.c @@ -93,6 +93,11 @@ struct smaps_vmflags static int use_coredump_filter = 1; +/* Whether the value of smaps_vmflags->exclude_coredump should be + ignored, including mappings marked with the VM_DONTDUMP flag in + the dump. */ +static int dump_excluded_mappings = 0; + /* This enum represents the signals' numbers on a generic architecture running the Linux kernel.
