Quoting Alex Kelly (alex.page.kelly@xxxxxxxxx):
> Adds an expert Kconfig option, CONFIG_COREDUMP, which allows disabling of core dump.
> This saves approximately 2.6k in the compiled kernel, and complements CONFIG_ELF_CORE,
> which now depends on it.
>
> CONFIG_COREDUMP also disables coredump-related sysctls, except for suid_dumpable and
> related functions, which are necessary for ptrace.
