Subject: [PATCH -mm 3/3 v2] ELF, coredump: allow process with empty address space to coredump
Date: Sun, 22 Dec 2019 18:01:37 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191222150137.GA1277@avx2> (raw)
Unmapping whole address space at once with
munmap(0, (1ULL<<47) - 4096)
or equivalent will create empty coredump.
It is silly way to exit, however registers content may still be useful.
The right to coredump is fundamental right of a process!
