[PATCH 14/19] Create ELF Core notes Data

From: Janani Venkataraman
Date: Fri Oct 04 2013 - 06:32:41 EST


From:Suzuki K. Poulose <suzuki@xxxxxxxxxx>

Collect the PT_NOTE information for the core.

There are two "process wide" notes. NT_PRPSINFO and NT_AUXV. These are captured
in the core_proc structure.

Each thread gets a NT_PRSTATUS note, which will contain the GPR contents. A
thread may have additional notes depending on the other register sets used by it.
Uses struct elf_thread_core_info to capture the thread specific information.

fill_thread_core_info() fills in the notes for a thread.
