It is strange as we have in gdb, if I remember correctly, an explicit check of the size of prstatus:

gdb/bfd/elf.c:

    if defined (HAVE_PRSTATUS_T)

    static bfd_boolean
    elfcore_grok_prstatus (bfd *abfd, Elf_Internal_Note *note)
...
      if (note->descsz == sizeof (prstatus_t))
...

How do you test this patch ? Do you use native gdb on ARM ? Because, for m68k, cross-compiled gdb does not work (it cannot have sizeof(prstatus_t) for m68k).

Regards,
Laurent

I dunno about m68k, but if ARM gdb behaves differently natively
versus the cross-tools version (ie hosted on x86 to target ARM)
then that sounds like a bug we in Linaro would like to know
about :-)

I tried both native and cross-gdb, version 7.2. Both fail with your patch applied
and work fine without it.

Before your patch, objdump (CodeSourcery cs2009q3 cross) output looks like:

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] correct core dump format

[Laurent Vivier]

This is the v2 of my patch correcting the core dump format.

It introduces a new parameter of the target: the alignment size.
For the moment, it seems m68k is the only one that doesn't have 32bit
address alignment but 16bit one.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] linux-user: correct core dump format

[Laurent Vivier]

This patch allows to really use the core dumped by qemu with guest
architecture tools.

- it adds a missing bswap_phdr() for the program headers
  of memory regions.

  "objdump -x" sample:

BEFORE:

0x1000000 off    0x00200000 vaddr 0x00000400 paddr 0x00000000 align 2**21
         filesz 0x00000000 memsz 0x00100000 flags ---
0x1000000 off    0x00200000 vaddr 0x00100400 paddr 0x00000000 align 2**21
         filesz 0x00000000 memsz 0x00080000 flags --- 6000000

AFTER:

    LOAD off    0x00002000 vaddr 0x00040000 paddr 0x00000000 align 2**13
         filesz 0x00000000 memsz 0x00001000 flags ---
    LOAD off    0x00002000 vaddr 0x00041000 paddr 0x00000000 align 2**13
         filesz 0x00000000 memsz 0x00000800 flags rw-

- it doesn't pad the note size to sizeof(int32_t).
  On m68k the NT_PRSTATUS note size is 154 and
  must not be rounded up to 156, because this value is checked by
  objdump and gdb.

  "gdb" symptoms:

      "warning: Couldn't find general-purpose registers in core file."
