Re: [PATCH] coredump_filter: add hugepage core dumping

[Roland McGrath]

It was certainly not meant to be excluded from any documentation.  

To make the description clear, MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS applies when a
file-backed private mapping would otherwise be elided (based on the other
bits and whether it's been modified).  If the vma maps offset 0 of the
file, and that page is readable and starts with ELFMAG, then just that
first page will be dumped.  (So p_filesz will be PAGE_SIZE rather than 0
for an elided mapping, or p_memsz for a mapping dumped whole.)


Thanks,
Roland
