Description Jakub Filak 2016-08-30 06:15:59 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1365812 +++

Description of problem:
I ran eu-stack with a core dump file generated by gcore.

$ sleep 1000 &
$ SLEEP_PID=$!
$ gcore $SLEEP_PID
$ eu-stack --executable=/usr/bin/sleep --core=core.$SLEEP_PID
eu-stack: link_map.c:846: dwfl_link_map_report: Assertion `in.d_size == phnum * phent' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

Version-Release number of selected component:
elfutils-0.166-2.fc25

Truncated backtrace:
Thread no. 1 (7 frames)

--- Additional comment from Matej Habrnal on 2016-08-10 11:30:56 CEST ---

It is possible to generate backtrace from such a coredump using gdb:

$ gdb -batch -ex 'file /usr/bin/sleep' -ex "core-file core.$SLEEP_PID" -ex "bt"
[New LWP 22760]
Core was generated by `sleep'.

--- Additional comment from Jan Kratochvil on 2016-08-10 13:55:09 CEST ---

The core file generated by gcore is bogus so it is rather a GDB bug:
3    AT_PHDR              Program headers for program    0x55848c2b5040
9    AT_ENTRY             Entry point of program         0x55848c2b6940
^^^ it points to nowhere:

                 FileSiz            MemSiz              Flags  Align

A workaround is:
(gdb) shell cat /proc/20477/coredump_filter
00000033
(gdb) shell echo 0x37 >/proc/20477/coredump_filter
(gdb) shell cat /proc/20477/coredump_filter
00000037
(gdb) gcore /tmp/sleep.core
(gdb) shell echo 0x33 >/proc/20477/coredump_filter

This is not a regression, before 'set use-coredump-filter' (gdb >=7.10) GDB also never dumped pages of binary code.
Comment 1 Sergio Durigan Junior 2016-08-31 16:34:53 UTC 
FWIW, I am currently implementing the support for setting the coredump filter flags from inside GDB, i.e., without having to resort to invoking a shell.  This feature should solve or at least help in this issue.
Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 10:10:42 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.
Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:32:38 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:46:57 UTC 
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Comment 6 Jan Kurik 2018-05-31 09:12:28 UTC 
This bug is currently reported against a Fedora version which is already unsuported.
I am changing the version to '27', the latest supported release.

Please check whether this bug is still an issue on the '27' release.
If you find this bug not being applicable on this release, please close it.
Comment 7 Jan Kurik 2018-08-14 10:22:19 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle.
Changing version to '29'.

Author: Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj>

    Implement dump of mappings with ELF headers by gcore

I'll prepare a Fedora GDB release with it tomorrow.
Comment 9 Sergio Durigan Junior 2019-05-02 03:10:03 UTC 
Building gdb-8.3.50.20190501-11.fc31 right now, so I'm closing this.  Please reopen if needed.  Thanks.
Comment 10 Sergio Durigan Junior 2019-05-02 17:07:32 UTC 
Sorry, as it turns out the package failed to build and there are a bunch of new regressions (unrelated to this bug).  I'm reopening this bug temporarily just to keep things in sync.
Comment 11 Sergio Durigan Junior 2019-05-09 17:59:29 UTC 
Fixed.
