Jann, Apologies on the delay... I think it's probably been 20+ years since I've built and installed a Linux kernel. In any case, I cloned the current kernel git tree, applied your patch, rebuilt the kernel, and installed it in an Ubuntu 21.10 VM. After forcing a few process core dumps, it does indeed look like the problem is fixed. Just to triple check, I took one of those core dumps over to the Windows side and opened it with a recent windbg. It finds the build-ids of all the relevant images & SO's just fine: 0:000> dx @$curprocess.Modules.Select(mod => mod.Contents.BuildID) @$curprocess.Modules.Select(mod => mod.Contents.BuildID) [0x0] : Unable to read target memory at '0x7f5766631000' in method 'readMemoryValues' [at ImageInfo (line 1275 col 5)] [0x1] : EF650611451904165E9CAF6080ECBAAD50B84D3F [0x2] : 674ACF7BFECD6B8F382FE8D0D95F229087761289 [0x3] : C087D7951738C9EA3DFC7D15A7B31A7D7F862AE1 [0x4] : B8037B6260865346802321DD2256B8AD1D857E63 [0x5] : DB6AFCCC2EC0090045BBE5DDD68722A1434235E5 [0x6] : 3B4B1D0BA98C1B4081A6C5748A593D42C163F125 [0x7] : 4501188BC2E25791E446F7C110F8BC9282C98CD4 [0x8] : AE398331C90E9C84AE01A640DF017803BB775F63 [0x9] : 4E8C3A67A9606B9B33EDF9A24ED999E3C885E5BB [0xa] : 6511403115C9BC3DF0DCD7167D8766B7FCC2AEE1 [0xb] : 14ACB10BBDAEFC6A64890C96417426CA820C0FAA [0xc] : 2792043473EB7D1661942BC13DB9272918D2A790 And it is able to match the images/debug information to what I have for my Ubuntu VM as well. Thank you for the fix!

Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>; Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx>; stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [EXTERNAL] [PATCH] coredump: Also dump first pages of non-executable ELF libraries [You don't often get email from jannh@xxxxxxxxxx. Learn why this is important at http://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification.] 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.
