of memory types. If a bit of the bitmask is set, memory segments of the
corresponding memory type are dumped, otherwise they are not dumped.
-The following 4 memory types are supported:
+The following 7 memory types are supported:
- (bit 0) anonymous private memory
- (bit 1) anonymous shared memory
- (bit 2) file-backed private memory
- (bit 3) file-backed shared memory
- (bit 4) ELF header pages in file-backed private memory areas (it is
effective only if the bit 2 is cleared)
+ - (bit 5) hugetlb private memory
+ - (bit 6) hugetlb shared memory
Note that MMIO pages such as frame buffer are never dumped and vDSO pages
are always dumped regardless of the bitmask status.
-Default value of coredump_filter is 0x3; this means all anonymous memory
-segments are dumped.

+Default value of coredump_filter is 0x23; this means all anonymous memory
+segments and hugetlb private memory are dumped.
If you don't want to dump all shared memory segments attached to pid 1234,
-write 1 to the process's proc file.
+write 0x21 to the process's proc file.
- $ echo 0x1 > /proc/1234/coredump_filter
+ $ echo 0x21 > /proc/1234/coredump_filter
When a new process is created, the process inherits the bitmask status from its
parent. It is useful to set up coredump_filter before the program runs.
