How to set the default proc coredump_filter parameter

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • In order to control which memory mappings are written to a core dump it is possible to tweak /proc/PID/coredump_filter. This approach works well but it requires the knowledge of the pid of the process.
  • Is it possible to set a default global value for coredump_filter?
