From 65aafb1e7484b7434a0c1d4c593191ebe5776a2f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stéphane Graber Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:24:32 -0700 Subject: coredump: add new %P variable in core_pattern MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add a new %P variable to be used in core_pattern. This variable contains the global PID (PID in the init namespace) as %p contains the PID in the current namespace which isn't always what we want. The main use for this is to make it easier to handle crashes that happened within a container. With that new variables it's possible to have the crashes dumped into the container or forwarded to the host with the right PID (from the host's point of view).
