If an o32 application crashes and generates a core dump on
a 64 bit kernel, the core file will not be correctly
recognized. This is because ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and
ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS are not correctly defined for o32
and will use the default register set which would
be CONFIG_64BIT in asm/elf.h.
So we'll switch to use the right register defines in
this situation by checking for WANT_COMPAT_REG_H and
use the right defines of ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and
ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS.
This patch looks plausible. How was it tested?
Can you still obtain good core files with at 32-bit kernel?
Are usable core files obtained for all three ABIs on 64-bit kernels?
Other than that, I have only the one comment below.
Thanks,
David Daney
