Hi Chris,

Thank you for the comment!
I updated webrev:

   http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ysuenaga/JDK-8250826/webrev.02/
   Diff from webrev.01: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/submit/rev/e98dc25b69c2

In GraalVM, read only segment is conflicted, thus it does not matter which map is used.
However this webrev is more generalize, so segments in coredump should be used.

Thanks!
I thought PF_R can be used PF_R from elf.h on macOS:
   https://opensource.apple.com/source/dtrace/dtrace-90/sys/elf.h

I merged your code in this webrev.

Fixed them.

We then process all the library segments, calling add_map_info() for them if the target_vaddr has not already been addded. If has already been added, which I assume is the case for any library segment that is already in the core file, then the core file version is replaced the the library version.  I'm a little unclear of the purpose of this replacing of the core PT_LOAD segments with those found in the libraries. If you could explain this that would help me understand your change.

Because of this the segment size in the library does match the segment size in the core file. So with your fix the library segment is used, but what about the other half of the segment that is in the core file? Don't we now have overlapping segments; the full original segment from the library, and then a second segment that overlaps the tail end of the library segment? Will that cause any confusion later on?
