* apport: Call objcopy to throw out READONLY/CODE sections from the core
dump, which drastically reduces its (uncompressed) size (factor 2 to 10).
This has little effect on the bzip2'ed core dump, though.
* apport:
- Support an optional third command line argument which specifies the
location of a core dump.
- If a core dump is given, call gdb on the core dump instead of the
crashed process. We cannot attach to the latter if we are called by the
kernel (since the crashed process is in uninterruptible kernel sleep).
- If no core dump is given, do not attempt to do anything gdb related.
- This matches the future behaviour of the kernel crash dump helper while
remaining compatible to the previous call semantics.
* Add preloadlib/{Makefile,libapport.c}: LD_PRELOADable library which
emulates the future kernel behaviour. This is ONLY for testing and
development purposes. It uses unsafe temporary file handling and thus must
not be used on production boxes!
* Ship preloadlib/* as examples in package 'apport' for people who want to
play with it until the new kernel arrives.
* Add preloadlib/README: Explain how to use the preload library.
