Subject: coredump: use get_task_comm() for %e filename format
From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx>
We currently access current->comm directly. As we have
prctl(PR_SET_NAME), we need the access be protected by task_lock. This is
exactly what get_task_comm does, so use it.
I'm not 100% convinced prctl(PR_SET_NAME) may be called at the time of
core dump, but the locking won't hurt. Note that siglock is not held in
format_corename.
