[PATCH v3] [RFC] tracepoint: Add signal coredump tracepoint


Add signal coredump tracepoint which shows signal number,
mm->flags, limits, the result of coredump, and core
file name.

This tracepoint requirement comes mainly from the viewpoint of
administrators. Since now we have introduced many coredump
configurations (e.g. dumpable, coredump_filter, core_pattern,
etc) and some of them can be modified by users, it will be hard
to know what was actually dumped (or not dumped) after some
problem happened on the system. For example, a process didn't
generated core, coredump doesn't have some sections, etc.
In those cases, the coredump tracepoint can help us to know
why the core file is so big or small, or not generated, by
recording all configurations for all processes on the system.
That will reduce system-administration cost.

Changes in v3:
 - Move tracepoint at the end of do_coredump() for tracing
   the result of coredump.
 - Use retval to record error-code at every failure points
   for passing the result of coredump to tracepoint.
 - Trace retval instead of cprm->file for recording the
   result of coredump.

Changes in v2:
 - Fix a bug to clear file local variable when
   call_usermodehelper_pipe() is failed.
