commit 698222457465ce343443be81c5512edda86e5914 upstream. Patches that introduced NT_FILE and NT_SIGINFO notes back in 2012 had taken care of native (fs/binfmt_elf.c) and compat (fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c) coredumps; unfortunately, compat on mips (which does not go through the usual compat_binfmt_elf.c) had not been noticed. As the result, both N32 and O32 coredumps on 64bit mips kernels have those sections malformed enough to confuse the living hell out of all gdb and readelf versions (up to and including the tip of binutils-gdb.git). Longer term solution is to make both O32 and N32 compat use the regular compat_binfmt_elf.c, but that's too much for backports. The minimal solution is to do in arch/mips/kernel/binfmt_elf[on]32.c the same thing those patches have done in fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c Cc: stable@kernel.org # v3.7+ Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer <tsbogend@alpha.franken.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
