Hi,

These patches are for fixing coredump mm->flags consistency issue.

---
1787         if (mm->core_state || !get_dumpable(mm)) {  <- (1)
1788                 up_write(&mm->mmap_sem);
1789                 put_cred(cred);
1790                 goto fail;
1791         }
1792
[...]
1798         if (get_dumpable(mm) == 2) {    /* Setuid core dump mode */ <-(2)
1799                 flag = O_EXCL;          /* Stop rewrite attacks */
1800                 cred->fsuid = 0;        /* Dump root private */
1801         }

Since dumpable bits are not protected by lock, there is a
chance to change these bits between (1) and (2).

To solve this issue, this patch copies mm->flags to
coredump_params.mm_flags at the beginning of do_coredump()                      and uses it instead of get_dumpable() while dumping core.
This series also introduce coredump parameter structure
for simplify bimfmt->core_dump interface.

Thank you,

---
