From 200f091c95bbc4b8660636bd345805c45d6eced7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Sat, 28 Sep 2024 14:08:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] coredump: Do not lock during 'comm' reporting The 'comm' member will always be NUL terminated, and this is not fast-path, so we can just perform a direct memcpy during a coredump instead of potentially deadlocking while holding the task struct lock.
