So that's not so theoretical - big-endian mips64 userland is unsupported,
but booting the big-endian mips32 userland on mips64 hardware is clearly
meant to work - they even ship a 64bit kernel built for that.
IOW, both O32 and N32 coredumps in 64bit mips kernels have broken
NT_FILE and NT_SIGINFO. And while NT_SIGINFO breakage is really
visible only on b-e, NT_FILE one is common to b-e and l-e. One of
the effects of the latter is that current gdb fails to work with
threaded coredumps of 32bit processes produced on boxen with 64bit
kernels. Coredumps generated by gcore(1) are fine...
I think the following ought to be applied. Comments?
[mips] fix malformed NT_FILE and NT_SIGINFO in 32bit coredumps
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
