[PATCH] mem: exclude used memory from core dump by config

[PATCH] mem: exclude used memory from core dump by config

[Gaoxiang Liu]

Some DPDK application is allolcateed storage partition of 8G(or smaller)
If coredump happens, the application doesn't work because of
insufficient storage space.
The patch provides a config that means whether the huge used memory
needs to be not dumped in core dump.
The DPDK application can choose to open it according to the actual
situation.

Since you are adding it in unix/eal_unix_memory.c it is applicable for
freebsd too.
Please update options and documentation for freebsd.

Usually errors from OS API are reported as DEBUG in EAL,
so the first one should also remain DEBUG.

Re: [PATCH v3] eal: allow to exclude memseg from core dump

Does it need to be a DPDK option?
If eal_mem_set_dump() is exposed as rte_mem_set_dump(),
this feature can be implemented by the application using
rte_mem_event_callback_register().
On Linux only and for all hugepages (not only DPDK ones),
administrator can reset bits 5 and 6 of /proc/[pid]/core_filter
to solve the task without any programming at all.

"Memory segment" is something that is understood by programmers, not users.
Suggesting --no-huge-dump, in line with --no-huge and --huge-unlink.
