| |
Now, hugepage's vma has VM_RESERVED flag because it cannot be swapped.
and VM_RESERVED vma isn't core dumped because its flag often be used for kernel internal vma (e.g. vmalloc, sound related).
So, hugepage is never dumped and it indicate hugepages's program can't be debugged easily.
In these days, demand on making use of hugepage is increasing. IMO, native support for coredump of hugepage is useful.
I think VM_RESERVED default dumping bahavior is good, then I'd like to add coredump_filter mask.
This patch doesn't change dafault behavior.
I tested by following method.
# ulimit -c unlimited # echo 0x23 > /proc/self/coredump_filter # ./hugepage_dump # gdb ./hugepage_dump core
hugepage_dump.c ------------------------------------------------ #include <sys/ipc.h> #include <sys/shm.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <errno.h> #include <string.h>
#define HUGEPAGE_SIZE (256*1024*1024)
int main(int argc, char** argv) { int err; int shmid; int *pval; int shm_flags = 0666;
if ((argc >= 2) && (strcmp(argv[1], "-h")==0)) shm_flags |= SHM_HUGETLB;
err = shmid = shmget(IPC_PRIVATE, HUGEPAGE_SIZE, shm_flags); if (err < 0) { perror("shmget"); exit(1); }
pval = shmat(shmid, 0, 0); if (pval == (void*)-1) { perror("shmat"); exit(1); }
*pval = 1;
*(int*)0 = 1;
exit(0); } -----------------------------------------------------
