New Revision: 210063
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/210063

Log:
  Fix the way the segments are included in the gcore outputs (with the
  default invokation):
  - Right now if segments are not writable are not included. Remove this.
  - Right now if a segment is mapped with NOCORE the check is not honoured.
    Change this by checking the newly added flag, from libutil,
    KVME_FLAG_NOCOREDUMP.
  
  Besides that, add a new flag (-f) that forces a 'full' dump of all the
  segments excluding just the malformed ones. This might be used very
  carefully as, among the reported segments, there could be memory
  mapped areas that could be vital to program execution.
