[PATCH 2/2] Made core dump functionality optional
From: Alex
Adds an expert Kconfig option, CONFIG_COREDUMP, which allows disabling of core
dump.
This saves approximately 2.6k in the compiled kernel, and complements
CONFIG_ELF_CORE,
which now depends on it.
CONFIG_COREDUMP also disables coredump-related sysctls, except for
suid_dumpable and
related functions, which are necessary for ptrace.
