Forgot to mention just in case... We could probably make a simpler patch. do_coredump() can ignore all signals except SIGKILL from the start. But when I suggested this change in the past I was told that the dump handler looks (or may look) at /proc/pid/status so we shouldn't do this. And instead of s/SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/group_exit_task/ in 2/3 we could add the ugly but simple checks in __send_signal() paths. Say we could rely on PF_DUMPCORE (which btw asks for cleanup anyway). However, I think that using ->group_exit_task is better (if correct!) and simply more logical.
