3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Aloni <alo...@stratoscale.com>
commit 72023656961b8c81a168a7a6762d589339d0d7ec upstream.
A high setting of max_map_count, and a process core-dumping with a large
enough vm_map_count could result in an NT_FILE note not being written,
and the kernel crashing immediately later because it has assumed
otherwise.
Reproduction of the oops-causing bug described here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/30/50
Rge ussue originated in commit 2aa362c49c31 ("coredump: extend core dump
note section to contain file names of mapped file") from Oct 4, 2012.
This patch make that section optional in that case. fill_files_note()
should signify the error, and also let the info struct in
elf_core_dump() be zero-initialized so that we can check for the
optionally written note.
[a...@linux-foundation.org: avoid abusing E2BIG, remove a couple of
not-really-needed local variables]
