From: Roland McGrath Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:31:56 +0000 (+0100) Subject: x86: x86 core dump TLS X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~1143^2~497 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bb61682b3f31dec7d058cae2f6edd2275248a704;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git x86: x86 core dump TLS This makes ELF core dumps of 32-bit processes include a new note type NT_386_TLS (0x200) giving the contents of the TLS slots in struct user_desc format. This lets post mortem examination figure out what the segment registers mean like the debugger does with get_thread_area on a live process.
