Hello Qiao,

With more recent versions of gcc, extensions/trace.c generates this warning:

   $ make extensions
   ...
   gcc -Wall -g -shared -rdynamic -o trace.so trace.c -fPIC -DX86_64 -DLZO 
-DSNAPPY -DGDB_7_6
   /tmp/ccSOIphT.o: In function 'ftrace_show':
   /root/crash.git/extensions/trace.c:1560: warning: the use of 'mktemp' is 
dangerous, better use 'mkstemp'
   ...
   $

I've attached an untested patch that replaces the mktemp() call with mkstemp().
I believe the only behavioral difference is that mkstemp() will create the file
automatically with permissions 600 and open flags of O_EXCL, whereas it is
currently being opened with permissions 644 and flags (O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | 
O_TRUNC).

It seems good to me.

Can you either ACK the patch, or address the warning as you would prefer?

Thanks,
   Dave

"tmp" will be modified to the path of the temporary file, good.
