One of our users reported that when a user-level program SIGSEGVs under
UML kernel, the resulting core dump is not very usable.
I have reproduced that with the latest kernel:
make ARCH=um defconfig; make ARCH=um
Run the resulting kernel, then "inside" run this program:
#include <pthread.h>
void *fn(void *p)
{
abort();
}
int main()
{
pthread_t tid;
pthread_create(&tid, 0, fn, 0);
pthread_join(tid, 0);
return 0;
}
Analyze the coredump with GDB. Here is what you'll see:
sudo gdb -q -ex 'set solib-absolute-prefix ../root_fs' -ex 'file ../root_fs/var/tmp/mt-abort' -ex 'core ../root_fs/var/tmp/core.762'
Reading symbols from /usr/local/google/root_fs/var/tmp/mt-abort...done.

Core was generated by `./mt-abort'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.

Examining the core shows that NT_PRSTATUS notes for all threads other than
the one that crashed are zeroed out.
I believe this is happening because neither ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS nor
task_pt_regs are defined under ARCH=um, and so elf_core_copy_task_regs()
becomes a no-op.
Attached patch fixes this for SUBARCH={x86_64,i386}.
