在Linux系统上打开core dump

Step 1. Set ulimit unlimited in /etc/profile

ulimit -c unlimited > /dev/null 2>&1

Step 2. Set core unlimited in /etc/security/limits.conf

* soft core unlimited

Step 3. Set core pattern in /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

echo '/data/core/core.%e.%p.%t.%s.%u.%g' | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

mkdir -p /var/crash/user

Step 4. Set core pattern in /etc/sysctl.conf

kernel.core_pattern=​/data/core/core.%e.%p.%t.%s.%u.%g

Step 5. Load new system control parameter to reflect changes

/sbin/sysctl -p

Step 6. Try below c code and it should generate core dump file in /data/core

> gcc core.c -o core
> ./core

Source code for core.c

/* core.c */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>

int main()
{
    char *ptr;
    ptr = malloc(sizeof(char)*10);
    free(ptr);

    int * crash = NULL;
    *crash = 1;
    // free would incur core dump
    free(ptr);
}
