Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Add "-a" argument to gcore.in
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2017 13:22:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171128132148.31802-4-slp@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171128132148.31802-1-slp@redhat.com>

The new "-a" argument instructs the gcore script to disable both
use-coredump-filter and honor-dontdump-flag before generating the core
file.

This allows the user to unconditionally dump all memory regions,
mimicking the behavior of previous gdb/gcore versions (before support
for coredump_filter was implemented).

2017-11-28  Sergio Lopez  <slp@redhat.com>
        * gcore.in: Add "-a" argument for disabling both
        use-coredump-filter and honor-dontdump-flag.
