------------------------------------------------------ From: John Ogness john.ogness@linutronix.de Subject: fs/proc/array.c: allow reporting eip/esp for all coredumping threads
0a1eb2d474ed ("fs/proc: Stop reporting eip and esp in /proc/PID/stat") stopped reporting eip/esp and 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 the core the core dumper.
