Nam Cao 553fbae0ef fs/proc: do_task_stat: Fix ESP not readable during coredump 
commit ab251dacfb upstream.

The field "eip" (instruction pointer) and "esp" (stack pointer) of a task
can be read from /proc/PID/stat. These fields can be interesting for
coredump.

However, these fields were disabled by commit 0a1eb2d474 ("fs/proc: Stop
reporting eip and esp in /proc/PID/stat"), because it is generally unsafe
to do so. But it is safe for a coredumping process, and therefore
exceptions were made:

  - for a coredumping thread by commit fd7d56270b ("fs/proc: Report
    eip/esp in /prod/PID/stat for coredumping").

  - for all other threads in a coredumping process by commit cb8f381f16
    ("fs/proc/array.c: allow reporting eip/esp for all coredumping
    threads").

The above two commits check the PF_DUMPCORE flag to determine a coredump thread
and the PF_EXITING flag for the other threads.

Unfortunately, commit 9230738308 ("coredump:  Don't perform any cleanups
before dumping core") moved coredump to happen earlier and before PF_EXITING is
set. Thus, checking PF_EXITING is no longer the correct way to determine
threads in a coredumping process.

Instead of PF_EXITING, use PF_POSTCOREDUMP to determine the other threads.

Checking of PF_EXITING was added for coredumping, so it probably can now be
removed. But it doesn't hurt to keep.

Fixes: 9230738308 ("coredump:  Don't perform any cleanups before dumping core")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
