X-Git-Tag: omap-for-v3.10/dt-fixes-for-merge-window~88^2~41
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=acdedd99b0f3bff9b4bb2103a6b1268c03d1f963;p=pandora-kernel.git

coredump: sanitize the setting of signal->group_exit_code

Now that the coredumping process can be SIGKILL'ed, the setting of
->group_exit_code in do_coredump() can race with complete_signal() and
SIGKILL or 0x80 can be "lost", or wait(status) can report status ==
SIGKILL | 0x80.

But the main problem is that it is not clear to me what should we do if
binfmt->core_dump() succeeds but SIGKILL was sent, that is why this patch
comes as a separate change.

This patch adds 0x80 if ->core_dump() succeeds and the process was not
killed.  But perhaps we can (should?) re-set ->group_exit_code changed by
SIGKILL back to "siginfo->si_signo |= 0x80" in case when core_dumped == T.
