From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs/binfmt_elf.c: coredump: allow process with empty address space to coredump Unmapping whole address space at once with munmap(0, (1ULL<<47) - 4096) or equivalent will create empty coredump. It is silly way to exit, however registers content may still be useful. The right to coredump is fundamental right of a process!
