From: "Edgar E. Iglesias" <edgar.iglesias@xxxxxxxx> ELF_CORE_EFLAGS is already used by the binfmt_elf coredumper to set correct arch specific ELF header flags on coredumps. Use it for kcore as well. This corrects kcore files for the CRIS arch and I believe it corrects ordinary coredumps for the H8/300. Signed-off-by: Edgar E.
