Until a core dump handler is installed by systemd-sysctl, the generation of core dump for services is turned OFF which can make the debugging of the early boot process harder especially since there's no easy way to restore the core dump generation. This patch introduces a new kernel command line option which specifies an absolute path where the kernel should write the core dump file when an early process crashes. This will take effect until systemd-coredump (or any other handlers) takes over.

<para>This parameter controls whether the system shall boot up in volatile mode. Takes a boolean argument, or
|
|
the special value <literal>state</literal>. If false (the default), normal boot mode is selected, the root
|
|
directory and <filename>/var</filename> are mounted as specified on the kernel command line or
|
|
<filename>/etc/fstab</filename>, or otherwise configured. If true, full state-less boot mode is selected. In
|
|
this case the root directory is mounted as volatile memory file system (<literal>tmpfs</literal>), and only
|
|
<filename>/usr</filename> is mounted from the file system configured as root device, in read-only mode. This
|
|
enables fully state-less boots were the vendor-supplied OS is used as shipped, with only default
|
|
configuration and no stored state in effect, as <filename>/etc</filename> and <filename>/var</filename> (as
|
|
well as all other resources shipped in the root file system) are reset at boot and lost on shutdown. If this
|
|
setting is set to <literal>state</literal> the root file system is mounted as usual, however
|
|
<filename>/var</filename> is mounted as a volatile memory file system (<literal>tmpfs</literal>), so that the
|
|
system boots up with the normal configuration applied, but all state reset at boot and lost at shutdown. For details,
