[PATCH 2/2] coredump: add DAX filtering for FDPIC ELF coredumps

From: Ross Zwisler
Date: Mon Oct 05 2015 - 18:34:08 EST


Add explicit filtering for DAX mappings to FDPIC ELF coredump. This is
useful because DAX mappings have the potential to be very large.

This patch has only been compile tested.
