Subject: [REGRESSION] coredumps truncated after "new helper: dump_align()"
Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2013 15:26:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <11835033.kIc1RH0rS1@al> (raw)
Hi Al,
Somewhere in the merge window of 3.13, coredumps appear truncated.
Instead of 319488 bytes, I get 868 bytes (tested with x86_64 only).
The latest Linus' master (v3.12-9579-g049ffa8) is still affected.
Bisection leads to:
commit 22a8cb8248ba5d340307ba72432253b1dbdb5cf7
Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Date: Tue Oct 8 11:05:01 2013 -0400
new helper: dump_align()
dump_skip to given alignment...

I first noticed this bug on my laptop (v3.12-7033-g42a2d92) and
reproduced this bug in a QEMU virtual machine too. If you want, I
can also provide the git bisect script that starts QEMU and tests
the serial output. That allows a kernel to be verified in two seconds
(minus build times).
Regards,
Peter
