[PATCHv3] fs/proc: allow reporting eip/esp for all coredumping threads

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Commit 0a1eb2d474ed ("fs/proc: Stop reporting eip and esp in
/proc/PID/stat") stopped reporting eip/esp and commit fd7d56270b52
("fs/proc: Report eip/esp in /prod/PID/stat for coredumping")
reintroduced the feature to fix a regression with userspace core dump
handlers (such as minicoredumper).

Because PF_DUMPCORE is only set for the primary thread, this didn't fix
the original problem for secondary threads. Allow reporting the eip/esp
for all threads by checking for PF_EXITING as well. This is set for all
the other threads when they are killed. coredump_wait() waits for all
the tasks to become inactive before proceeding to invoke a core dumper.

Fixes: fd7d56270b526ca3 ("fs/proc: Report eip/esp in /prod/PID/stat for coredumping")

 This is a rework of Jan's v1 patch that allows accessing eip/esp of all
 the threads without risk of the task still executing on a CPU.

 The code chagnes are the same as v2. With v3 I included a "Fixes" tag,
 fixed a typo in the commit message, and Cc'd stable.
