+/* Core file format: The core file is written in such a way that gdb
+ can understand it and provide useful information to the user (under
+ linux we use the 'trad-core' bfd). There are quite a number of
+ obstacles to being able to view the contents of the floating point
+ registers, and until these are solved you will not be able to view the
+ contents of them. Actually, you can read in the core file and look at
+ the contents of the user struct to find out what the floating point
+ registers contain.
+ The actual file contents are as follows:
+ UPAGE: 1 page consisting of a user struct that tells gdb what is present
+ in the file. Directly after this is a copy of the task_struct, which
+ is currently not used by gdb, but it may come in useful at some point.
+ All of the registers are stored as part of the upage. The upage should
+ always be only one page.
+ DATA: The data area is stored. We use current->end_text to
+ current->brk to pick up all of the user variables, plus any memory
+ that may have been malloced. No attempt is made to determine if a page
+ is demand-zero or if a page is totally unused, we just cover the entire
+ range. All of the addresses are rounded in such a way that an integral
+ number of pages is written.
+ STACK: We need the stack information in order to get a meaningful
+ backtrace. We need to write the data from (esp) to
+ current->start_stack, so we round each of these off in order to be able
+ to write an integer number of pages.
+ The minimum core file size is 3 pages, or 12288 bytes.
