Description

I'm trying to attach a process and dump memory using gdb in root mode but gcore does not work on x86. gcore does work on my ARM-based phone but it is slow to handle these, emulator is much faster, and I just want to save battery and keep battery last longer.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install Memu Lollipop RC5
  2. Install Termux, and launch it
  3. apt update
  4. apt install gdb tsu
  5. su
  6. dumpsys meminfo and find pid of process to attach
  7. quit
  8. tsu
  9. gdb -pid (pid)
  10. gcore (path)

Research direction
Investigate why gcore fails on x86 emulator while working on ARM. Check the gdb package build scripts in termux packages to see if any architecture specific flags or dependencies are missing. Look at comments in the issue for any hints or attempts to fix.
