Without objection, I will throw this into rawhide. I want to get some
beating on it done before I send it upstream. The related bits that make
it cool may hit rawhide soonish.
If an F7 update got this too but with dump_dso_headers = 0 default, that
would be groovy. It is a no-op when disabled and having the option would
be nice for people wanting to play with the userland tools that like this,
who don't have a rawhide install.
Thanks,
Roland

[PATCH] Add sysctl controls on ELF core dump segments, dump first page of DSOs
This adds two sysctl items under fs.binfmt_elf for controlling how memory
segments are dumped in ELF core files. The dump_whole_segments option can
be set to have private file mappings dumped in their entirety.
The dump_dso_headers option is the new default. This dumps the first page
(only) of a read-only private file mapping if it appears to be a mapping of
an ELF file. Including these pages in the core dump may give sufficient
identifying information to associate the original DSO and executable file
images and their debugging information with a core file in a generic way
just from its contents.
