Subject: [patch] Fix gcore for vDSO (on ppc64)
|
|
|
|
Hi,
|
|
|
|
on ppc64 GNU/Linux one gets in live process or kernel-generated core file:
|
|
|
|
#0 0x00003fff9e946b3c in __pause_nocancel () from /lib64/libc.so.6
|
|
#1 0x000000001000080c in handle_alrm (signo=14) at small.c:16
|
|
#2 <signal handler called>
|
|
#3 0x00003fff9e946b3c in __pause_nocancel () from /lib64/libc.so.6
|
|
#4 0x0000000010000914 in main (argc=2, argv=0x3fffcd00dec8) at small.c:32
|
|
|
|
while with gcore generated core file one gets:
|
|
|
|
#0 0x00003fff9e946b3c in __pause_nocancel () from /lib64/libc.so.6
|
|
#1 0x000000001000080c in handle_alrm (signo=14) at small.c:16
|
|
#2 0x00003fff9ea70448 in ?? ()
|
|
#3 0x0000000010000914 in main (argc=2, argv=0x3fffcd00dec8) at small.c:32
|
|
|
|
This is because on ppc64 GNU/Linux the signal handler frame is in vDSO (and
|
|
not in libc as on x86_64 GNU/Linux). And if one has kernel-debuginfo
|
|
installed GDB gcore thinks it can omit the vDSO page from core file.
|
|
|
|
As vDSO cannot be reliably found from link_map it should be rather fully
|
|
present in the core file. Which also gcore_create_callback tries to do but it
|
|
gets mistaken by the separate debug info.
|
|
|
|
It seems pretty obvious patch to me.
|
|

|
Thanks,
|
