  • b59931649   elfcore-compat fix uid/gid types ... Browse Code »

    I overlooked the difference between __kernel_uid_t and uid_t when defining
    struct compat_elf_prpsinfo. The result is a regression in 32-bit core
    dumps on x86_64, where the NT_PRPSINFO note has the wrong size and layout.
    This patch fixes it.

    This adds the linux/elfcore-compat.h header file, which is the CONFIG_COMPAT
    analog of the linux/elfcore.h header. Each arch that needs to fake out
    fs/binfmt_elf.c for its compat code can use this header to replace the
    hand-copied definitions of the compat variants of struct elf_prstatus et al.
    Only the pr_reg field varies by arch, so asm/{compat,elf}.h must define
    compat_elf_gregset_t before linux/elfcore-compat.h can be used.

    It's a clean-up that every arch with compat core dumping code can benefit
    from. I only touched the ones I have handy to test at home. Doing the same
    for each other arch should be straightforward, and I'm happy to offer tips.
