2007-06-08 06:49:36 Martin Pitt linux-source-2.6.22: importance Undecided High
2007-06-08 06:49:36 Martin Pitt linux-source-2.6.22: statusexplanation For comparison, this is how it looks like on 2.6.20: $ ulimit -c 0 $ bash -c 'kill -SEGV $$' Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ ls -l /tmp/env /tmp/crash -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 909312 2007-06-08 08:45 /tmp/crash -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 143 2007-06-08 08:45 /tmp/env $ grep RLIM /tmp/env CORE_REAL_RLIM=0 So by default the entire core dump is piped and CORE_REAL_RLIM is 0. For 'ulimit -S -c 50', CORE_REAL_RLIM is 51200. 2.6.20 does not cap the piped core dump to 50 KB as the current 2.6.22 seems to do; this is correct behaviour since we want the entire core dump for apport, we just want to clip the written core files to 50 KB.
