Re-enabling kernel segfault messages

[bariumbitmap]

I used to get segfault messages like this in dmesg:

Code: Select all

pstree[25678]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f58be0b3ae4 sp 00007ffe65b700a0 error 4 in libc-2.24.so[7f58be04d000+195000]

But since I've tried packages like systemd-coredump and corekeeper, the kernel messages have disappeared.

Do I re-enable them with a kernel argument or something like that?

For posterity, the relevant kernel parameter is "debug.exception-trace".

Code: Select all

$ sysctl debug.exception-trace 
debug.exception-trace = 1

My issue was actually different; I was using a test program that raised SIGSEGV and created a core dump, but didn't actually access invalid memory. More details here:
