+	  ELF core dump files describe each memory mapping of the crashed
+	  process, and can contain or omit the memory contents of each one.
+	  The contents of an unmodified text mapping are omitted by default.
+
+	  For an unmodified text mapping of an ELF object, including just
+	  the first page of the file in a core dump makes it possible to
+	  identify the build ID bits in the file, without paying the i/o
+	  cost and disk space to dump all the text.  However, versions of
+	  GDB before 6.7 are confused by ELF core dump files in this format.
+
+	  The core dump behavior can be controlled per process using
+	  the /proc/PID/coredump_filter pseudo-file; this setting is
+	  inherited.  See Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt for details.
+
+	  This config option changes the default setting of coredump_filter
+	  seen at boot time.  If unsure, say N.
