coredump: pass mm->flags as a coredump parameter for consistency
Pass mm->flags as a coredump parameter for consistency. --- 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 copy is also passed to binfmt->core_dump, since elf*_core_dump() uses dump_filter bits in mm->flags.
