[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] core dump: drop VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag |
|
Date: |
Wed, 7 Mar 2012 12:00:49 -0500 |
The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to indicate that
a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section, and then always dump it. However,
we
can determine if a vma is in in one of these sections by using
'arch_vma_name()',
and thus re-purpose a valuable vma bit.
