GDB versions prior to df8411da087dc05481926f4c4a82deabc5bc3859
unconditionally included all memory regions in the core dump.
After that change, while is still possible to ask GDB to ignore
/proc/PID/coredump_filter using the 'set use-coredump-filter' command,
there's no way to request it to dump regions marked with the VM_DONTDUMP
flag ("dd" in /proc/PID/smaps").
This patch series implement the new 'set honor-dontdump-flag' command
for GDB, and the "-a" argument for gcore, allowing the user to mimic the
behavior of previous GDB versions.
Sergio Lopez (4):
Implement 'set honor-dontdump-flag' command
Document new 'set honor-dontdump-flag' command
Add "-a" argument to gcore.in
Document the new "-a" argument for gcore
