Subject: [PATCH 03/10] linux-user/alpha: add coredump support
Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 16:03:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260607140356.10702-4-deller@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260607140356.10702-1-deller@kernel.org>
From: Matt Turner <mattst88@gmail.com>
Define HAVE_ELF_CORE_DUMP and target_elf_gregset_t in target_elf.h,
mirroring the kernel's elf_gregset_t (ELF_NGREG = 66): r0-r31
[0..31], f0-f31 [32..63], pc [64], unique [65]. Implement
elf_core_copy_regs() in elfload.c to populate the gregset from
CPUAlphaState.
Without this, bprm->core_dump is NULL for Alpha targets. When a
guest signal goes unhandled, dump_core_and_abort() skips the core
write and falls through to die_with_signal(), which re-raises the
signal to the host. The host kernel then writes an x86-64 core file
for the qemu-alpha process instead of an Alpha guest core.
v2: Store thread unique field, same as in Linux kernel. Added by Helge &
suggested by Richard.
