marcel 2003/08/14 22:52:48 PDT FreeBSD src repository Modified files: sys/ia64/ia64 elf_machdep.c Log: Fix the generation of coredumps. We did not take the dirty registers that were on the kernel stack into account. For now we write them out to the register stack of the process before creating the dump. This however is not the final solution. The problem is that we may invalidate the coredump by overwriting vital information due to an invalid backing store pointer. Instead we need to write the dirty registers to an unused region of VM which will result in a seperate segment in the coredump. For now we can at least get to all the registers from a coredump.
