[PATCH 2/2] signal: Make coredump handling explicit in complete_signal

From: Eric W. Biederman <hidden>
Date: 2022-01-08 18:16:04
Also in: linux-arch, lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Ever since commit 6cd8f0acae34 ("coredump: ensure that SIGKILL always
kills the dumping thread") it has been possible for a SIGKILL received
during a coredump to set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and trigger a process
shutdown (for a second time).

Update the logic to explicitly allow coredumps so that coredumps can
set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and shutdown like an ordinary process.
