Modified files:
sys/kern imgact_elf.c
Log:
Instead of just the data and stack segments, include all writable
segments (except memory-mapped devices) in the ELF core file. This
is really nice. You get access to the data areas of all shared
libraries, and even to files that are mapped read-write.
In the future, it might be good to add a new resource limit in the
spirit of RLIMIT_CORE. It would specify the maximum sized writable
segment to include in core dumps. Segments larger than that would
be omitted. This would be useful for programs that map very large
files read/write but that still would like to get usable core dumps.
