Roland McGrath 2faa4cf76e linux/elfcore.h: hide kernel functions
The declarations for elf_core_extra_phdrs() et al got added on the
wrong side of #ifdef __KERNEL__ in linux/elfcore.h so they leak into
the user header copy and we get a warning at build time about it.

Daisuke HATAYAMA 8d9032bbe4 elf coredump: add extended numbering support
The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if
program headers exceed 65535.  This number is determined by the number of
vmas which the process have.  In particular, some extreme programs may use
more than 65535 vmas.  (If you google max_map_count, you can find some
users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate
correct coredumps.

This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of
the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent
upto 4294967295 vmas.

This is supported by
AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and
Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/).
Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

Daisuke HATAYAMA 1fcccbac89 elf coredump: replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions
elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding
macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions.  This patch removes
#ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions.  For
architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in
order to reduce a range of modification.

This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is
worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.

Parag Warudkar e9bf0cc7cb elfcore.h : Fix UML build breakage
Commit a65e7bfcd7 broke the UML build with
the following error -

  In file included from fs/proc/kcore.c:17:
  include/linux/elfcore.h: In function 'elf_core_copy_task_regs':
  include/linux/elfcore.h:129: error: implicit declaration of function 'task_pt_regs'

Fix this by restoring the previous behavior of returning 0 for all arches
like UML that don't define task_pt_regs.

Hui Zhu a65e7bfcd7 elf: fix multithreaded program core dumping on arm
Fix the multithread program core thread message error.

This issue affects arches with neither has CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET nor
ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS, ARM is one of them.

The thread message of core file is generated in elf_dump_thread_status.
The register values is set by elf_core_copy_task_regs in this function.

If an arch doesn't define ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS,
elf_core_copy_task_regs() will do nothing.  Then the core file will not
have the register message of thread.

So add elf_core_copy_regs to set regiser values if ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS
doesn't define.

The following is how to reproduce this issue:

cat 1.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <assert.h>

void td1(void * i)
{
       while (1)
       {
               printf ("1\n");
               sleep (1);
       }

       return;
}

void td2(void * i)
{
       while (1)
       {
               printf ("2\n");
               sleep (1);
       }

       return;
}

int
main(int argc,char *argv[],char *envp[])
{
       pthread_t       t1,t2;

       pthread_create(&t1, NULL, (void*)td1, NULL);
       pthread_create(&t2, NULL, (void*)td2, NULL);

       sleep (10);

       assert(0);

       return (0);
}
arm-xxx-gcc -g -lpthread 1.c -o 1
copy 1.c and 1 to a arm board.
Goto this board.
ulimit -c 1800000
./1
# ./1
1
2
1
...
...
1
1: 1.c:37: main: Assertion `0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
Then you can get a core file.
gdb 1 core.xxx
Without the patch:
(gdb) info threads
 3 process 909  0x00000000 in ?? ()
 2 process 908  0x00000000 in ?? ()
* 1 process 907  0x4a6e2238 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6
You can found that the pc of 909 and 908 is 0x00000000.
With the patch:
(gdb) info threads
 3 process 885  0x4a749974 in nanosleep () from /lib/libc.so.6
 2 process 884  0x4a749974 in nanosleep () from /lib/libc.so.6
* 1 process 883  0x4a6e2238 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6
The pc of 885 and 884 is right.

Tejun Heo 6cd61c0baa elf: add ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS()
ELF core dump is used for both user land core dump and kernel crash
dump.  Depending on architecture, register might need to be accessed
differently for userland and kernel.  Allow architectures to define
ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() and use different operation for kernel
register dump.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
