commit 84158b7f6a0624b81800b4e7c90f7fb7fdecf66c upstream. When I rewrote the VMA dumping logic for coredumps, I changed it to recognize ELF library mappings based on the file being executable instead of the mapping having an ELF header. But turns out, distros ship many ELF libraries as non-executable, so the heuristic goes wrong... Restore the old behavior where FILTER(ELF_HEADERS) dumps the first page of any offset-0 readable mapping that starts with the ELF magic. This fix is technically layer-breaking a bit, because it checks for something ELF-specific in fs/coredump.c; but since we probably want to share this between standard ELF and FDPIC ELF anyway, I guess it's fine? And this also keeps the change small for backporting.

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.
