 corresponding memory type are dumped, otherwise they are not dumped.

+The following 7 memory types are supported:
   - (bit 0) anonymous private memory
   - (bit 1) anonymous shared memory
   - (bit 2) file-backed private memory
   - (bit 3) file-backed shared memory
   - (bit 4) ELF header pages in file-backed private memory areas (it is
             effective only if the bit 2 is cleared)

   Note that MMIO pages such as frame buffer are never dumped and vDSO pages
   are always dumped regardless of the bitmask status.

 When a new process is created, the process inherits the bitmask status from its
 parent. It is useful to set up coredump_filter before the program runs.
