Roland McGrath f47aef55d9 [PATCH] i386 vDSO: use VM_ALWAYSDUMP
This patch fixes core dumps to include the vDSO vma, which is left out now.
It removes the special-case core writing macros, which were not doing the
right thing for the vDSO vma anyway.  Instead, it uses VM_ALWAYSDUMP in the
vma; there is no need for the fixmap page to be installed.  It handles the
CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO case by making elf_core_dump use the fake vma from
get_gate_vma after real vmas in the same way the /proc/PID/maps code does.

This changes core dumps so they no longer include the non-PT_LOAD phdrs from
the vDSO.  I made the change to add them in the first place, but in turned out
that nothing ever wanted them there since the advent of NT_AUXV.  It's cleaner
to leave them out, and just let the phdrs inside the vDSO image speak for
themselves.
