[PATCH 2/2] makedumpfile: make the incomplete vmcore generated by ENOSPC error analyzable

Wang, Xiao/Wang Xiao wangx.fnst at cn.fujitsu.com

Since the incomplete vmcore generated by ENOSPC error can't be anylyzed by
crash utility, but sometimes this file may contain important information
and the panic problem won't be reproduced, then we came up with an idea to
modify the exist data of the incomplete vmcore file to make it analyzable
by crash utility. As there are two formats of the vmcore file, different
methods are needed to deal with each of them,

elf:
Modify the value of the PT_LOAD program header to reflect the actual size
of the incomplete vmcore file. This method can't be used to modify the
vmcore written in flattened mode.

kdump-compressed:
Dump the bitmap before any page header and page data.
