From 3cb4a0bb1e773e3c41800b33a3f7dab32bd06c64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kawai, Hidehiro" Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 01:48:28 -0700 Subject: coredump masking: add an interface for core dump filter This patch adds an interface to set/reset flags which determines each memory segment should be dumped or not when a core file is generated. /proc//coredump_filter file is provided to access the flags. You can change the flag status for a particular process by writing to or reading from the file. The flag status is inherited to the child process when it is created.
