Thanks for all the details (and sorry for the delay, I'm on PTO until Monday ... :) (regarding the other mail) Adding that stuff to rust just so we have a devcoredump that ideally wouldn't exist is a bit unfortunate. So I'm curious: we do have /proc/kcore, where we do all of the required filtering, only allowing for reading memory that is online, not hwpoisoned etc. makedumpfile already supports /proc/kcore. Would it be possible to avoid Devcoredump completely either by dumping /proc/kcore directly or by having a user-space script that walks the page tables to dump the content purely based on /proc/kcore? If relevant memory ranges are inaccessible from /proc/kcore, we could look into exposing them. -- Cheers, David / dhildenb
