coredump: construct the list of coredumping threads at startup time
binfmt->core_dump() has to iterate over the all threads in system in order to find the coredumping threads and construct the list using the GFP_ATOMIC allocations. With this patch each thread allocates the list node on exit_mm()'s stack and adds itself to the list. This allows us to do further changes: - simplify ->core_dump() - change exit_mm() to clear ->mm first, then wait for ->core_done. this makes the coredumping process visible to oom_kill - kill mm->core_done Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
