Enable core dump on Linux 2.6.35

Question

I'm running kernel 2.6.35 on a custom embedded device (ARMv7). I'm trying to get a core dump but it appears core dumps are disabled.

My kernel config can be found here: https://pastebin.com/XXZ8YyaA

My test application is the following:

int main() {
    return 1/0;
}

I expect the following:

Floating point exception (core dumped)

But instead get this:

Floating point exception

Meaning core dumps are disabled. How can I enable them for my platform? It looks like the option to toggle functionality in the kernel CONFIG_COREDUMP wasn't added till kernel version 3.7. Is it not always enabled in previous kernels?

Answer 1

The missing kernel option was CONFIG_ELF_CORE.

General setup -> Configure standard kernel features (for small systems) -> Enable ELF core dumps

After enabling this I'm able to get core dumps.

# ./crash
Floating point exception (core dumped)
