    criu-coredump: merge criu-coredump project · 8a71a4a2
    Ruslan Kuprieiev authored
    This patch introduces a new subproject called "criu-coredump". The name
    is pretty much self-explanatory, it allows generating coredumps from
    criu images. Coredumps are readable and usable by gdb. The structure is
    something in the middle of kernel-generated and gdb-generated core dumps.
    
    This is a first iteration of core-dump patch series. It introduces
    ability to generate gdb-operatable core dump only for x86_64 machines.
    To support other architectures there will be a set to introduce proper
    structures for notes section of the core dump. It is also worth noting,
    that we still leave some notes(SIGINFO primarily) not fullfilled, as
    I still need to figure out what to put in there in our case, where no
    signal is involved in triggering core dump generation and other
    caveats like zeroed vvar(we have problems with it withing CRIU itself
    as well as gdb has some difficalties with it) and vsyscall vmas.
    One can already use produced core dump with gdb, there is also
    a quick simple demo https://asciinema.org/a/18936 .
